Hello, my name is

Matteo Castelli

I’m a director of photography and camera lover based in Florence with over 30 years of experience in films, commercials and branded projects. My passion started when I was a child and never faded: I treat every shot as an emotional moment. Light, lines and shadows become the language I use to connect with people worldwide.

My Story

Experienced Cinematographer and Camera Lover, I live in Florence, Italy.

I’ve spent most of my life chasing light and the stories it can tell. What began as childhood curiosity became a lifelong devotion to cinematography and visual storytelling. Through experiences in films, commercials, and branded projects, I’ve learned that every image has its own rhythm and truth. For me, the camera isn’t just a tool, it’s a way to listen, to feel, and to connect.
