I AM BEATRIZ, A PHOTO AND VIDEO PRODUCER
Since I was a child, I have been passionate about photography. My father taught me how to use a manual analog camera and develop our own films and photos at home. We built a homemade pinhole camera, we developed cyanotype prints on the sidewalk under the house… I enjoyed those experiments a lot!
I ended up studying Audiovisual Communication in Madrid and I also obtained a couple of European scholarships (Erasmus and ARGO/Leonardo) to continue learning in Italy and Germany.
After gathering experience in television, film, radio, written media and online marketing, I spent almost ten years working for trivago in Germany.
My responsibility there was creating and shaping a unique job: the inhouse production of video and photography for, among other purposes, external and internal communications in their social media and corporate pages. It was a very hands-on role where I was involved in the entire process, from concept to postproduction.
I worked independently as well as in teams and I had the chance of being a team lead and mentor (Talent Lead) within the company.
You now can find me as a photo/video freelancer (or “selbständig”) in Düsseldorf, (NRW, Germany), Madrid (Spain) and actually potentially worldwide, for projects of various kinds. Documentary is my passion and I have also participated in exhibitions in Düsseldorf and Spain.
I have always been interested in writing. I have kept a personal blog for many years and have published articles, poems and other texts.
Shall I call myself a «filmmaker», “video producer”, “photographer” or “videographer”? A writer? I never could find the exact word, but we can leave aside the labels: I never liked them anyway.

Do you still want to know more about me?
If you arrived until here, I can still unveil you some other details!
-
- I am a big fan of ironic-sarcastic humor, and my idol in that sense was the film director José Luis Cuerda.
- I am a tireless traveler. My greatest journey was travelling solo during eight months in Southeast Asia, but I take the backpack everytime I can. I recommend!
- Music is a very important part of my life, and that is also reflected in my work, because I always pay a lot of attention to it! (in fact, I enjoy collaborating with professional musicians / composers for my videos). I play several instruments myself.
- I love cooking and exploring international dishes, but I very much miss the taste of the Spanish cocido of my family and a vermut. ¡Que aproveche!
- I don’t own a car, but one day I will own a camper van to travel around!
- I value friendship as one of the most important things in life if not the most.
Press
Here you can see some examples where I had contact with the press for one of my videos:
Liebeserklärung einer Spanierin an die Stadt: Beatriz’ verliebtes Düsseldorf-Video
Liebeserklärung einer Spanierin an die Stadt : Beatriz’ verliebtes Düsseldorf-Video Eine Drohne schickte Beatriz Huélamo über Düsseldorf. Mit der filmte sie den Rhein, die Altstadt, die Radschläger, Pommes essende Mädels an den Kasematten. So setzte die 34-Jährige Düsseldorf ein kleines Denkmal.
And you know what? I also appeared in a Spanish TV program showing Düsseldorf, the city where I live!
