Nina is a cinematographer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, living and working in London. In 2023 she graduated from the National Film And Television School with an MA in Cinematography and shortly after signed with Carnaby Talent Agency. Her NFTS stop-motion animation 'The Tornado Outside' was a finalist for the Yugo BAFTA Student Award in 2023 and since then has collected many nominations and awards in various international film festivals. Her graduate fiction film 'Mango Skin' was featured in the BSC Magazine and premiered at BFI Southbank. Some of her upcoming projects are a 16mm short that was awarded the prestigious Shore Scripts funding and a Slick Films produced short directed by Freddie Fox (Slow Horses, The Gentlemen). She is currently in prep for a feature film shooting in the summer.
She is interested in story above all and building the visual language that best suits the project while keeping things exciting and fresh. She values the time spent with directors and production designers while finding the look of the film, but also the magic that happens during the shoots, so she always keeps an eye open for the unexpected. On set, she aims to create a collaborative and safe environment, while keeping the work bold and fun.
