A brief summary of my professional trajectory.

Rodrigo Gomes

I am a photographer, cinematographer, and filmmaker focused on public communication, education, and documentary filmmaking. My career encompasses extensive experience in still photography, motion imaging, cinematography, and audiovisual production for public institutions, cultural initiatives, and cinematographic works.

Between 2012 and 2014, I worked as a photographer on projects developed across Singapore, China, Thailand, and Russia, an international experience that broadened my perspective on diverse cultural contexts and visual production approaches.

Since 2016, I have been a permanent technical staff member at the University of Brasília (UnB), contributing to the development of institutional, educational, and journalistic content. At UnBTV, I have worked on programs such as UnBTV Ciência, Exclusiva UnBTV, and other broadcast productions dedicated to science outreach, education, and public communication.

Over the past years, I have collaborated on nationally recognized projects. I served as the cinematographer for the series Desafios das Eleições (Election Challenges), which won the Television category at the 1st EBC Award for Combating Disinformation (2024), and directed the cinematography for the documentary Horizonte Magüta: a educação Tikuna (Magüta Horizon: Tikuna Education), which received an Honorable Mention at the 20th Fest Aruanda.

My body of work also includes directing documentaries, such as the episode on community-based tourism in the Quilombo Kalunga for the series Olhar Brasil (EBC/TV Brasil), as well as serving as the director of photography for the stop-motion short film A Menina Corina em: Quantos mundos cabem em um mundo só? (The Girl Corina in: How many worlds fit in a single world?), exhibited at major Brazilian film festivals.

Beyond audiovisual production, I actively participate in initiatives related to cultural management, professional training, and the preservation of institutional memory, contributing to projects that connect knowledge, culture, and society.

I deeply believe in the moving image as a powerful tool for documentation, dialogue, and transformation. Therefore, I seek to develop works that value stories, people, and territories, always maintaining a rigorous focus on technical quality, narrative sensitivity, and the public interest.
