Born in a small town in the northeast of Barcelona, Spain, Jordi Ruiz Masó developed an early fascination with image-making through Super 8 film and 35mm. He studied photography before earning a BFA from Barcelona's Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), where he focused on narrative cinema and cultivated a singular visual language within a multidisciplinary fine arts environment. He later specialized in cinematography at ESCAC, refining a craft rooted in both technical precision and emotional intuition while working professionally alongside his studies.

Jordi is an international cinematographer whose work is defined by a strong authorial sensibility and a commitment to visual storytelling as an expressive form. His images explore character, emotion, and psychological space, drawing from a European artistic tradition while engaging with contemporary cinematic language. His feature work includes Captive, starring Scout Taylor-Compton; Sweet Navidad, starring Camila Banus; and A Soldier’s Revenge, featuring Neal Bledsoe, AnnaLynne McCord, and Val Kilmer. He also lensed Falling for the Manny, starring Elisabeth Harnois, and contributed to the visual language of the FOX’s acclaimed episodic series 9-1-1, starring Angela Bassett.

Recognized as a Rising Star of Cinematography by the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) and a Regional Emmy® Award recipient for his work with PBS, Jordi is a member of the Spanish Society of Cinematographers (AEC) and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). His engagement with cinema extends beyond production, he has served as a juror at international film festivals, lectured across continents, and mentored emerging voices in cinematography.

Based in Los Angeles, works all over the United States and abroad. Jordi approaches each project as a dialogue between director, story, and image. His process is rooted in collaboration, guided by a clear visual authorship, seeking not only to support narrative, but to elevate it through atmosphere, rhythm, and light. His work reflects an ongoing pursuit of cinema as both craft and art form, with a particular affinity for stories that carry emotional depth and cultural resonance.
