Pedro Miguez is a Toronto-based Director of Photography with over 15 years of experience working in narrative, documentary and commercial films. 

…

After studying cinema at York University and the University of Southern California, I began my career in 2007 working in the camera department on Hollywood studio features and TV shows like FLASHPOINT and THE LISTENER. I honed my craft during the industry’s transition from 35mm film to early digital cinema before returning to my native Brazil in 2011. There, I led cinematography on a wide range of commercials, short films, and documentaries, including two seasons of the factual series BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH for TV Brasil.

Since returning to Canada in 2016, I have continued to push creative boundaries across documentaries, fictional narratives, and commercials. My client roster includes Mastercard, Samsung, Johnnie Walker, IBM, and media outlets like CNN, Al Jazeera, and The Olympic Channel.

I am passionate about crafting beautiful images to add layers of meaning to every story. By bringing characters to life with an impeccable attention to detail in lighting, movement, and composition, I excel at producing professional results that convert and connect.

My recent work includes SOUNDS BLACK, a 4-part music documentary series for The History Channel that was nominated for a 2026 Canadian Screen Award for Best Documentary Series, as well as producing and shooting several short documentaries for the CBC. Additional recent feature credits include the documentaries HOW TO MAKE A HIT TOY and VINCE CARTER: LEGACY, alongside the narrative films SWARMS OF DRIFTING SHADES and NAKED IDENTITY.

Based in Toronto, Canada, available worldwide.
