About Mateo
Originally from Colombia and now based in London, Ontario, I’m a photographer and filmmaker drawn to work that feels honest, intentional, and visually refined. What started as a personal passion has grown into a creative path centered on portraits, cinematic content, events, and music-driven visuals.
My approach is rooted in storytelling — not only in how an image looks, but in what it communicates and how it makes people feel. I’m inspired by music, emotion, movement, and the small details that give a moment its character. Through photography and film, I aim to create work that feels personal, polished, and lasting.
As I continue building my creative voice, I’m also shaping a long-term path in the audiovisual world and within Canada’s film industry — always with the intention of creating meaningful work and real connections through visual storytelling.
Behind the vision of
20:20 Films Productions is the creative identity behind my work — a space where photography and film come together through intentional storytelling, refined composition, and a cinematic point of view.
More than a business name, it represents the way I approach every project: with care, clarity, and a commitment to creating visuals that feel both personal and elevated. Whether I’m documenting a moment, shaping a portrait, or building visual content for a brand, the goal remains the same — to create work that feels real, memorable, and thoughtfully crafted.
HOW I WORK
Every project is different, but the foundation of my work remains the same: intention, trust, visual clarity, and a strong sense of story.
Intentional Storytelling
I approach every session and project with the intention of creating images that do more than look good — they should communicate something real.
Cinematic Perspective
My visual style is shaped by light, composition, mood, and movement, bringing a cinematic and refined feel to both photography and video.
Professional Direction
Whether you’re comfortable in front of the camera or not, I guide the process in a way that feels clear, calm, and collaborative.
Refined Results
From planning to final delivery, I care about the details that elevate the experience and give the final work a polished, lasting quality.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Professional Presence, On and Off Set
A consistent creative identity
Presentation matters. The way I show up to a project is part of the experience I want to create — professional, intentional, and visually consistent.
