Long Profile:
Joaquin Buan is a cinematographer. He combines technical precision but uses it to step out of
the box, using his cinematography & editing to tell the story in an unorthodox way. In addition to
cinematography, he is highly skilled in editing across various software platforms, which he
considers his strongest technical ability. His goal is to push creative boundaries, transforming
his ideas into immersive music videos and short-form media storytelling.
Joaquin has worked on advertising shoots for a variety of clients, including dance teams,
powerlifting teams, Anytime Fitness gym branches, and school organization projects. In
narrative filmmaking, he has been involved in several short films for class projects,
consistently taking on the role of DOP.
Currently in the early stages of his career, Joaquin is actively developing his craft and
portfolio. He is pursuing a degree in AB Film at Meridian International College, where he is
gaining a deeper understanding of both the business and technical aspects of film
production.
His storytelling approach is heavily influenced by Yorgos Lanthimos, whose unconventional
narratives and unique perspectives continue to inspire his work. On the visual side, he studies
the cinematography of Chayse Irvin and draws creative inspiration from innovative directors
such as Cole Bennett, Lone Wolf, Drew Cronin, and Walker Andrews (Caprice Cinema).
His goal is to explore unique experimental narratives and themes. He want to push the limits of
music video production, crafting experiences that feel like stepping into a new world.
