About

Pedro D T P operating camera on location

Most of my career has been in daily drama and live broadcast, where there is almost never a second take. What I bring to set is framing that holds from the first take to the last, and the judgement to solve a shot on the spot when the blocking changes.

From 2012 to 2026 I was a camera operator at Estúdios Globo. Daily drama in studio and on location, and live broadcasts as well, among them Domingão do Faustão and The Voice Brasil.

Five of the productions I worked on were nominated for or won the International Emmy. Malhação: Viva a Diferença won in the Kids category. The most recent is Garota do Momento, up for Best Telenovela in 2026.

I hold a Cinema degree from SAE Institute in Melbourne, shooting commercials, documentary and music video for Nike, Jeep, Virgin Mobile and ABC. That is where I started shooting as a DP, on the Australian segments of the documentary Bomb It 2. Later I shot the comedy feature Night Shift, on RED Scarlet.

Before Globo I was an editor. That changed how I frame: anyone who has cut knows what goes missing in the edit.

Today I work in the independent market. Camera operator on scripted series and director of photography.
