IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Fábio Mota is a cinematographer and director whose work emerges from light, texture, and movement. Frames that tell stories before words arise. Each choice of color and gesture of the camera reflects a curious and sensitive eye, transforming reality into images that linger in memory.

He studied at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in London, refining a style that balances poetic sensibility with technical precision. He was the cinematographer of Miss Curvy and Misconduct, both internationally awarded.

In Portugal, he has worked on series such as O Clube and Praxx, and co-directed the feature documentary Alma Anciana (2022).

In 2026, he premieres Algodão a Frio and 2513 - The Number That Gave Voice to Women.
