Jose Caldera is an up-and-coming Cinematographer based out of Los Angeles who has always been drawn to the visual arts, which has given him the freedom to express himself and his culture creatively.  Being born in Los Angeles, CA, and raised in Mexico for the first 6 years of his life has strongly influenced his cinematography. 

His visual storytelling is inspired by his surroundings and the influences that he has experienced over the years.  He is constantly learning and discovering new ways to approach a story and give it the mood and message that the story/project needs. 

His 35mm film photography is instrumental to his work as a cinematographer.  It allows him to experiment and discover new ways to shape the visual frame.
