Corrado Serri is an Italian cinematographer born and raised in Cagliari, Sardinia. He studied Arts and Literature at the University of Cagliari before moving to Milan, where he graduated summa cum laude in Cinematography.
Working across fiction, documentary, and commercial filmmaking, Corrado has developed a visual approach characterized by a strong sensitivity to natural light and a deep interest in the relationship between people and place.
His work is shaped by a wide range of artistic influences, including the writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, the films of Wong Kar Wai, the photography of Todd Hido, and the music of Elliott Smith and Miles Davis. Beyond filmmaking, good food, basketball, and travel also play an important role in his life and creative outlook.
He has filmed extensively throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, the United States, Iceland, the Middle East, Japan, Brazil, and both North and South Africa. His work continues to explore stories with a consistent sense of curiosity, intimacy, and visual rigor.
His most recently released feature films include Grazia Tricarico’s Body Odyssey, Marco Gianfreda’s Tre Regole Infallibili, and Fortunato Cerlino’s Avemmaria.
His upcoming projects include John Mellencamp: An Open Book, a feature documentary shot in Indiana, USA, about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician; Ferragamo – Un passo alla volta, a short film about the legendary shoemaker, premiering at the 2026 Venice Film Festival; and work as Second Unit Director of Photography on the Netflix feature Positano, produced by Working Title, directed by Academy Award winner Daniel Roher and starring Matthew McConaughey and Zoe Saldaña.
