Michael’s career began with a natural curiosity for the craft, as he was fascinated by the intersection of creativity & technology. This innate interest in science, artistry & how the two combine is felt throughout Michael’s career. From his early days using his first ever camera, a Canon 5D MK11, to his recent work, there is a tangible feeling of innovation & enthusiasm for the craft.

Today, Michael now has the experience to match the enthusiasm of his early years with a vast portfolio that involves technical & enduring outdoor shoots, slick commercial pieces & intimate human stories. Not many can say that they’ve hung out of planes, shot African wildlife & trekked the Andermatt mountains all in the name of craft, but Michael can. Every adventurous director needs a daring yet easygoing DOP. Michael is your man.

Michael has worked with some of the biggest names in the world and the biggest brands, from Rolls Royce and Puma to household names like Jodie Comer, David Beckham, Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding & Nicole Scherzinger

Photographer and Cinematographer Jorge Luis Diéguez is a Peruvian artist, now based in London. With degrees in photography, cinematography and architecture, he brings a multifaceted background to his craft.

Architecture, in particular, influences Jorge creatively. He grew up in Lima, a dense city known for its unplanned urbanisation, unique aesthetic, atypical design and construction methods. From this experience, Jorge developed an appreciation for disconnected forms and patterns. He explores the dynamic between human-object and human-space a lot in his work.

The desert–a space mostly untouched by and unwelcoming to humans–is a recurrent theme for Jorge and a place which he feels continually inspired. Beyond natural landscapes, he is drawn to abandoned and disrupted scenes, exploring the conflicts arising from land appropriation and mass human displacement.

By working closely with departments such as art direction, lighting, and editing, Jorge emphasises the importance of synergy to create impactful pieces collectively. His portfolio reflects a commitment to storytelling that goes beyond the visual to evoke profound emotional and intellectual responses with clients, including Audi, Nowness, Nike and Vespa.
