Luisa Betancur Ossa
director of photography
×
colombian
cinematographer,
and amateur
dancer :)
Born in Medellín Colombia, yet zigzagging between it and California, since age 9. Luisa is an emerging cinematographer and ArtCenter College of Design ''17 alumni, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production, and a minor in Cinematography. In 2020, Luisa was awarded an ASC Master Class Visions Scholarship, and in 2021 she became a part of the first ICONIC Lift-Off cohort.
While going to high school in Colombia, she became an audience and participant of Medellín’s vibrant art, film, photography, and dance scene. She took film and art workshops, and became self taught in manual film photography. Her passion for dance always drove her to learn about the history of dance, and movement in cinema, which she still loves to study to this day.
Her experience ranges from shooting narrative shorts and documentary work, music videos, branded content and stills photography — to working as a 2nd AC
on highlight projects such as Beyonce’s Black Is King, The Killers visual album and as Digital utility on two Warners Brother productions; Netflix’s Lucifer S5
and Cherish the Day S1.
