About Romanesh

A visual storyteller who knows what the frame demands—and what the set can carry.

Romanesh Reynoso is a Canadian–Mexican cinematographer and gaffer working across narrative features, television, shorts, commercials and branded content.

A 2012 graduate of Toronto Film School’s Film Production program and a former union member, Romanesh brings camera sensitivity, electrical fluency and calm problem-solving to every production. His work has taken him from intimate independent sets to major series and internationally screened features.

“I think the gaffer is the painter of the frame.”
