About Me

Mano Camón (1974) is a Dutch-Mexican filmmaker and photographer. His former work as a manager for world-music acts has given him a unique perspective from which to embark on an exploration of music and culture through film and photography.Mano graduated from the Utrecht School of Arts, with a filmic-performance about the roots of Gypsy flamenco that fused live performances from 7 different artists with animation and documentary film footage. Since graduating, he has worked on film-sets in Andalusia (Spain) and in the Brazilian Amazon, where he created a photographic portrait series of Brazilian gypsies that led to a solo exposition at the Museo de la Ciudad in Querétaro, Mexico (2002).Since founding Amaní Productions in 2004, Mano has worked as a cameraman and editor on several documentary productions, and directed numerous road-movies, videos of live concerts, and promotional films for various artists, labels and bookings agencies. After returning to international management for Hungarian singer Beáta Palya for a couple of years, Mano has once again turned his attention to film making and photography in general. He dedicated 2006 through 2007 to 'Cymbalom Legacy - the Soundscape of Miklós Lukács'.www.amaniproductions.eu www.camonphotography.eu
