ARNALDO MESQUITA

São Paulo

I'm Arnaldo Mesquita, director of photography, entrepreneur and passionate about cinema. I began my career in music, but found my true vocation in images.

I'm a founding partner of Universo Imagens and creator and partner of Fábrica Brasileira de Imagens, combining my passion for art with my entrepreneurial spirit for 30 years. I have worked on campaigns for major brands such as Coca-Cola, Vivo, Renault, Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, among others. I've collaborated with renowned artists such as Ivete Sangalo, Luan Santana, Djavan, Titãs, Tiaguinho, and many more. On TV, I've worked on projects such as Saia Justa, Marília Gabriela, Pânico, Jornalismo da Band, among others, as well as documentaries and social productions.

I'm also a founding partner of the AVW - Audiovisual World platform, aimed at connecting and sharing knowledge between professionals in the sector.

As a member of the ASAS collective, I contribute as director of photography to productions such as the multi-narrative project “THREAD OF DESIRE”, “HUMANITY [IN ME]”, and much more, bringing a creative and technical eye to audiovisual art.

Being part of the ASAS collective means leveraging my professional and personal talent in an open and collaborative space, where audiovisual art finds its transformative power in human connections.
