Ioan Gavriel is a DoP based in Vienna, Bern, Berlin.
Ioan is driven by his curiosity for people, which has led him on many artistic adventures all around the world. His main focus thereby lies on storytelling – the more effective, the better. Innovative lighting, decisive composition and immersive camera-movement are his main tools in crafting a strong narrative. While working on features and advertisement, he likes to combine and balance his commercial work with visually, experimental art projects and originative music videos.
