Christian Ariel Heredia is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Vienna, with over 20+ years of experience in creative direction, videography, photography, editing and visual design. I specialise in crafting immersive visual narratives across a variety of mediums, including film, TV commercials, documentaries, portraiture, fashion, theatre and more. My work is focused on evoking emotions and telling stories that resonate deeply with audiences.
With over two decades of experience in the creative field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project, whether I’m directing, overseeing artistic direction, or collaborating on intricate visual designs. Each project is approached as a unique artistic endeavour, ensuring that every piece is tailored to the specific needs and vision of my clients.
Whether working with brands, companies, or fellow artists, my goal is to provide highly personalised work that captures the essence of each individual or entity. I rely on a curated network of specialists to expand the creative possibilities and provide a full spectrum of visual solutions. From concept development to production and post-production, my approach is comprehensive, always striving to push boundaries and create distinctive work that stands out.
Skills
Throughout my career, I have honed a diverse set of skills that allow me to lead projects and collaborate effectively. As a self-motivated artist, I manage my time and resources efficiently, ensuring that every project stays on track and meets deadlines. I excel in team leadership, guiding creative teams toward cohesive visions while fostering an environment of collaboration and respect. My artistic direction skills allow me to oversee the visual integrity of every project, from concept to execution, ensuring the final product aligns with both artistic goals and client expectations. Additionally, my strong interpersonal skills enable me to build lasting relationships with clients, collaborators, and partners, ensuring that every project is a smooth and successful creative journey.
I also bring expertise in casting talents, carefully selecting the right individuals who enhance the storytelling and visual aesthetics of each project. Whether for commercial, fashion, or artistic endeavours, my approach to casting ensures a seamless alignment with the project’s vision and narrative.
Software Expertise
I am proficient in a wide range of industry-standard software that allows me to execute every aspect of the creative process with precision and efficiency. For video editing, color grading, and post-production, I work extensively with DaVinci Resolve. I am also highly skilled in the Adobe Creative Cloud, including After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Acrobat, InDesign, and Audition—tools I use to bring dynamic visuals to life and refine every detail of the final product.
In addition to traditional software, I also incorporate AI tools into my creative process to expand possibilities and streamline workflows. I work with platforms like Midjourney, Leonardo, Firefly, and Bing to generate unique visuals, while also using tools like Portrait Pro and Suno to enhance and refine images, portraits, and audio. These technologies allow me to push creative boundaries and deliver innovative work that blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology.
Languages
I am a fluent speaker of both Spanish and English at a native level. Additionally, I possess advanced proficiency in German and Italian, and I am currently learning French, allowing me to effectively communicate across multiple languages and adapt to diverse linguistic environments.
