I’m Matteo Cimadoro — a filmmaker and photographer based in Ventura County, California. My work is rooted in the ocean: surf films, in-water photography, and the culture that surrounds life by the sea. I focus on shooting in the moment, chasing raw, unposed energy from the lineup to the shoreline.

Alongside my surf work, I’m expanding into the outdoors with Trails & Time — road trips, mountain landscapes, and stories that carry the same honest, cinematic feel as my ocean projects. Through Salt & Sea and Trails & Time, I direct, shoot, and edit every project with the goal of telling stories that feel real, timeless, and alive.
