About me

The videographer Samuel Matteo, with curly hair and shades, stands on a rugged path in the Austrian Alps, capturing the essence of outdoor filmmaking and adventure.

I’m an outdoor filmmaker with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling through nature and adventure. My journey began in commercial and fashion photography, creating imagery for magazines like Vogue Italia and Miss, which sharpened my eye for detail—a skill that now defines my approach to outdoor videography. Today, I capture the stories of people, places, and brands that thrive on living actively in the outdoors.

My work has taken me across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, where I’ve explored diverse landscapes and cultures.
I am always on the lookout for the next incredible shot. Flying FPV drones is one of my special skills, enabling me to bring unique, immersive perspectives to my films, capturing dynamic shots that would otherwise be impossible.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new countries, getting hustled at chess, discovering stunning landscapes, and finding inspiration in the outdoors. My work reflects my dedication to bringing audiences closer to nature—one powerful shot at a time.

This run-and-gun production posed a unique challenge: keeping up with two Volcom professional snowboarders and the people under their guidance while filming in heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures at 3,000 meters. Despite the gear struggling in the extreme cold, the human spirit remained resilient, turning this event into a remarkable story for everyone involved.
