Originally from a small town in the northeast of Barcelona, Spain, Jordi Ruiz Masó is an international cinematographer whose work specializes in feature films, commercials, television, and documentaries. Influenced by European cinema, art, and the surreal character of his hometown, Figueres - also home to Salvador Dalí- Jordi blends European visual sensitivity with American storytelling in his craft, combining advanced technical skill with a strong creative vision. He has had the privilege of shooting several feature films including Captive, Sweet Navidad, and A Soldier’s Revenge, along with additional camera work on FOX’s acclaimed television series 9-1-1 . He has also shot music videos for Cold War Kids and Floating Points, as well as commercials for brands including Acura.

Additionally, he has mentored emerging cinematographers of different backgrounds and lectured at NYFA Los Angeles and DCA in Lagos, Nigeria.

As a team player, Jordi values positivity, inclusion, and a genuinely supportive atmosphere as the foundation of any successful project. He seeks out crews and creatives who share these principles, helping foster a set environment that is both productive and memorable. His long-standing professional relationships reflect his belief that kindness and efficiency go hand in hand.

His passion for film and journey into cinematography began in his youth, experimenting with Super 8 film and 35 mm. He studied still photography, earned a degree in filmmaking at Barcelona's Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), and specialized in cinematography at ESCAC. Jordi continues to push the boundaries of his creativity as a cinematographer for local, regional and international clients. Los Angeles/Barcelona/Budapest-based and bilingual, he works worldwide. When he’s not on set, he’s likely petting a dog, perfecting his vegan lasagna or enjoying a Gipsy Kings song.
