Zel Padilla

I’m a filmmaker, photographer, and writer passionate about capturing emotion through light, movement, and words. I studied Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, where I explored storytelling from different angles — as a cinematographer, production designer, and screenwriter. Over the years, I’ve written screenplays and recently completed my first book, blending visual and written language to express what words alone can’t. My work is driven by curiosity, beauty, and the desire to immortalize fleeting moments, turning them into stories that connect deeply with others.
