Simon Cortes E

I’m a visual storytelling specialist with 5+ years of experience in editorial photography, art direction, and cinematic production. I lead high-level projects for brands, sports clubs, and public figures—from creative concept through advanced post-production.

As an Audiovisual Lead in creative agencies, I led visual direction for commercial campaigns across consumer brands and fashion clients. I coordinated technical crews (photography, camera, lighting) to deliver editorial-quality output optimized for digital media, broadcast TV, and outdoor advertising.

In parallel, I work as a Specialist Visual Producer for sports and cultural events, delivering cinematic photo and video coverage of high-profile regional events. I curate, edit, and deliver editorial-quality content for national media distribution, producing visual content packages for digital platforms and specialized press.

As Creative Director for The SAI (Private Commissions), I direct and produce exclusive photography sessions for personal and corporate brands. I manage end-to-end production—location scouting, model direction, lighting, and high-end retouching—while handling high-profile clients with strict confidentiality and international fashion standards. My work spans documentary narrative (including ESTIGMAS URBANOS) and disruptive editorial language for brands and clubs (including MANIZALES FC), supported by Adobe Creative Suite and DaVinci Resolve.
