CHRISTOPHER
DP / FILMMAKER / VIDEOGRAPHER
IN LISBON, PORTUGAL
My name is Christopher Michael Heisler and, being a full-time independent filmmaker from Berlin (but now residing in Lisbon), I have conditioned myself to make your project stand out. Apart from being a dedicated cinematographer / DP and director, I also find joy in:
- dynamic editing
- vibrant color grading
- capturing drone footage and
- crisp sound design
All of which is what I'd love to provide for your next video, too.
SOME EXAMPLES OF MY WORK AS A DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHER AND COLORIST:
SOME OF MY CLIENTS IN 2024 / 2025:
MY EXPERIENCE AS A DP / VIDEOGRAPHER
MOST RECENT MILESTONES (IN 2024 AND 2025):
- 1st DP on various fashion shoots (among others for Luciela Lingerie, HORIZN STUDIOS and ANY Eyewear in January, March and May 2025)
- Video Producer of a 12-episode documentary series + testimonial interviews for All Assistance in Italy (Director / DP, Editor, Sound Editor and Colorist, from January through June 2025)
- 1st DP on a Volkswagen Tayron commercial (December 2024)
- 1st DP on a "Bloomberg Originals" Documentary, I was booked by award-winning producer Matt Goldman (July 2024)
- 1st DP and Colorist on a TV commercial for TGLA - streamed on major US networks (such as Hulu, Peacock etc.) shot on an ARRI Alexa Mini (October 2024)
- A - Z Video Producer of several smaller commercials
- My Short Film "THE SOUTH BANK" (written and directed by me) was officially selected by six international film festivals and gained one time finalist and twice the semi-finalist status
I also very often operate as a "one-man-band", where I shoot, frame, light talents and background, capture sound (both shotgun mic and lav mics), place negative fill, motivational lights and so on, to not only achieve the best visuals but to also purposely keep the cost for my clients low, as booking a whole crew is doable, but expensive. But I'm a hard worker and despite being German I'm equipped with a sense of humour.
To date I'm experienced in shooting and colour grading within the eco-systems of:
- ARRI
- BLACKMAGIC DESIGN
- CANON
- DJI
- RED
- SONY

With CAMCAT I'm offering high-quality, but low-to-mid budget (motion) pictures specializing in branded content such as:
- commercials
- interviews
- corporate events
- documentaries
- music videos
- branded content
- short films
occasionally in both formats, videography / film and photography, as my skills originate from photography (since 1994, when I got my first mirror reflex camera). Obviously I'm also offering post-production upon request.
My goal is to make each video look like an expensive film and to find ways to transport a high production value at low production cost to make your video stand out, all of which has a proven record of success with a variety of very happy former clients (a few reviews can be found a tiny bit further below).
So, should you be looking for a DoP / cinematographer / cameraman / videographer or photographer in Lisbon or elsewhere in Portugal, I'll be looking forward to receiving your cooperation request. I will try answering every query as quickly as possible - usually on the same day - and hopefully soon be ready to tell your story in the cinematic way it deserves.
