With a B.A in Cinematography from the Asociacion Mexicana de Cineastas Independientes (AMCI), Danny Valdes has followed his calling behind the camera and since then he’s been devoted to painting with light. 

Valdes has combined his passion for the image with his spirit of adventure and specializes in Underwater Cinematography, both in swimming pools and at sea, that skils give him a chance to shoot a variety of projects from music videos to  Mexico´s Navy Search and Rescue Team. 

Danny's versatility to print his very own look in any project, despite production limitations, has made him one of the most sought-after cinematographers of his generation. Recently he combines shooting tv & web adds as DP and working as a Camera Operator in television and streaming series. 

We could say that Danny is an "all-terrain" Director of Photography: in addition to the underwater cinematography, his work includes aerial shots from a variety of aircrafts, and off-shore boats at sea.
