Kid Boxer

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Claudio Rietti is a New York–based cinematographer and Local 600 camera operator. He has travelled the world shooting documentaries, commercials, and independent films for a number of production companies. Eventually settling in New York, Claudio continued lensing and operating (and serving as 2nd-unit Director of Photography) for narrative films, including several for NBC/Universal, A24, and Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films.

In the commercial world, he has shot for several high-profile clients, including Peloton, AT&T, Redken, Olay, Clarisonic, Coach (Tapestry), Cosentyx, Target, Jockey, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter, and Sunglass Hut, among several others.

He takes pride in his chameleonic style, being able to execute a different aesthetic for each individual project.

Claudio is honored to have shot Kid Boxer, a story about a father teaching his son life lessons through the physically, mentally and emotionally stringent sport of boxing. Most recently he’s had the good fortune to work as an A-camera operator on Hulu’s hit comedy Ramy. He feels incredibly grateful to still be heading down the same path he set out on all those years ago.
