Cinematographer Luisa Madrid is a first-generation Peruvian/Colombian American who believes in the power of narrative storytelling. As a fine technician, a strong collaborator, and an intuitive artist, Luisa has a unique antenna for human fragility and resilience. With a background in social work and documentary photography, she has developed an eye attuned to detecting emotional intimacy, helping her to ground the surreal with a humanistic approach.
Luisa’s work includes the narrative short, ALL THE GAPS, which centers on a tumultuous relationship between an 8 year-old girl and her undocumented father. All the Gaps was accepted into the Oscar-qualifying Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) and is currently in circulation on COMCAST & ASPIRE TV. She also shot a segment for CARE CENTER: PROMOTORES, a Planned Parenthood documentary that featured Rocio, a Peruvian community leader who brings bilingual reproductive health education and information into Latinx homes and communities in Wisconsin. The film was accepted into the Women’s International Film Festival (WIFF) & KATRA Latinx Film Festival.
She holds an MFA in Cinematography from CUNY’s Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, a film school and one of the graduate schools of Brooklyn College, along with a Master in Social Work (MSW) from Florida International University (FIU).
Luisa is available to collaborate, work & travel.
