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. With more than 10 years of industry experience, his credits include the movies 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.

Recognized as a Rising Star of Cinematography by American Cinematographer and a Regional Emmy® Award winner for his work with PBS, Jordi is a member of the prestigious Spanish Society of Cinematographers (AEC) and the Television Academy (ATAS). He has served as a guest judge at festivals including Rizoma in Madrid, the SIL—Salón Internacional de la Luz in Colombia, and the Emerging Cinematographer Awards (ECA) in Los Angeles. 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.

In Barcelona, 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 Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), and specialized in cinematography at ESCAC. Los Angeles/Barcelona-based and bilingual, Jordi works throughout the United States and abroad. When he’s not on set, he’s likely perfecting his vegan lasagna or enjoying a Gipsy Kings song.
