My name is Manuel Casanova and I'm a film director & photographer from Lisbon, Portugal.

You can mostly on the road with musicians documenting their lives or on set shooting/directing while experimenting with different types of analog formats and film.
When I'm not touring I do a lot of commercial and documentary work as a film director, cinematographer and photographer.

In 2019 life took me to Australia where I also worked as Head of Content and Art Director for the Australian travel agency Paradise Adventure Travel in Cairns, QLD - creating a visual identity for the brand and directing loads of content based projects like short films.

I have a degree in Audiovisual & Multimedia from the Higher School of Communication and Media Studies in Lisbon, Portugal - but my real knowledge comes from shooting punk rock bands across the world since I was 16.

Client list includes: Warner Records, Rocnation, KORN, Rock in Rio, MEO Sudoeste, Coheed & Cambria, Sum 41, Comeback Kid, Imagine Dragons, Japandroids, Deejay Telio, & many others.

Hit me up and let’s work together!
