I’m Christian Ariel Heredia, an interdisciplinary visual artist and photographer based in Vienna. I first studied advertising and creative direction, and later deepened my skills through further courses in professional photography and videography. For over 20 years I’ve worked across creative direction, photography, visual design, videography and editing.
My work is about creating visual stories that move people—whether through film, commercials, documentaries, portraiture, fashion or theatre. I approach every project as a unique collaboration, whether I’m directing, taking a portrait, or shaping a full production.
I enjoy working with brands, companies and artists to create personalised results that reflect their vision. With a trusted network of specialists, I can support the whole process from concept to production and post-production. My goal is always to connect to the human soul and craft meaningful work.
Skills
I’ve built a diverse set of skills that allow me to lead projects with confidence and collaborate effectively. As a self-motivated artist, I manage time and resources efficiently to keep projects on track. I enjoy guiding creative teams, ensuring a strong visual direction while fostering collaboration and respect.
My experience spans from concept to execution, always aligning artistic goals with client expectations. I also bring expertise in casting, selecting the right talents to enhance storytelling and visual aesthetics—whether in commercial, fashion, or artistic projects.
Software Expertise
I am proficient in a wide range of industry-standard software that allows me to execute every aspect of the creative process with precision and efficiency. For video editing, color grading, and post-production, I work extensively with DaVinci Resolve. I am also highly skilled in the Adobe Creative Cloud, including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Acrobat, InDesign, and Audition—tools I use to bring dynamic visuals to life and refine every detail of the final product.
In addition to traditional software, I also incorporate AI tools into my creative process to expand possibilities and streamline workflows. I work with platforms like Midjourney, Leonardo,Krea, Veo, Firefly, and Bing to generate unique visuals, while also using tools like Portrait Pro and Eleven Labs to enhance and refine images, portraits, and audio. These technologies allow me to push creative boundaries and deliver innovative work that blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology.
Languages
I am a fluent speaker of both Spanish and English at a native level. Additionally, I possess advanced proficiency in German and Italian, and I am currently learning French, allowing me to effectively communicate across multiple languages and adapt to diverse linguistic environments.
