Shot, cut, & graded by Gabi Padilla

I film, edit, & color grade artist profiles in a process I call moving portraits.

I prioritize queer, Black, Brown, and AAPI communities in my work, capturing rappers, poets, painters, photographers, singers, chefs, & more. My goal is to surpass this notion of artist promotion & enter a space of sharing the essence of the individual & what they represent. Like a visual prologue for their memoir in the making, providing abstract flair with an editorial sensibility.

I make short films, music videos, & commercial content for brand names as well.

I’m from Austin, TX.

I live in Los Angeles, CA
