“Nelson Dorigo e Nadir Dorigo são irmãos e trabalham juntos há 50 anos na oficina… Autor: Rodrigo Samia”

I started having the opportunity to work with one of the best and most demanding cinematographers that that college was graduating from, it is obvious that I had to study to talk at least with that guy who seemed to be an extremely busy person.

Samia was kind, taught me what a 50mm lens was, showed me a light meter, cleared my doubts and gave me a lot of support on how to film that dance that until then was only body.
