I’m Manuel Suárez, a creative director, photographer, and filmmaker passionate about creating cinematic campaigns and visual narratives that inspire and connect.
My work combines storytelling, fashion, and film, producing images and videos that capture emotion and leave a lasting impression.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with brands like Ecoalf, MR AB, Fred Perry, Slazenger, Sweet Matitos…, and publications like Hello! EEUU & Ecuador, delivering fashion films, music videos, editorial campaigns, and branded content with a bold and cinematic edge. My projects have taken me across the globe, working in Spain, Paris, Miami, New York, Ecuador, México, Peru, Morocco…, bringing diverse cultural influences into every story I create.
Before dedicating myself fully to photography and film, I spent over a decade leading design and creative teams for global brands such as SEAT, CUPRA, Santander, BMW, Martini, and Hard Rock. This experience gave me a strategic mindset that now elevates my visual work — allowing me to approach every project with both artistic vision and brand clarity.
Sharing my creative journey through talks, publications, and collaborations that connect globally.
