Daniel Sosa Segura
Daniel Sosa Segura, born May 26, 1974, in the sun-soaked heart of Seville, Andalucía. Yeah, that’s right—home of flamenco, orange blossoms, and, apparently, some wickedly talented cinematographers. Daniel’s been behind the lens for some absolute bangers in Spanish cinema and TV. Take Malasaña 32 (2020). That film? Creepy as hell—haunted apartment, chilling atmosphere, the whole nine yards, and Daniel’s camera work just drags you right into the paranoia. The guy’s got a knack for turning shadows and cramped hallways into pure nightmare fuel.
Then there’s La zona (2017). This one’s a gritty post-apocalyptic drama, not your run-of-the-mill disaster fare. Daniel’s visuals make you feel the bleakness, the weight of survival—every shot loaded with tension. And let’s not forget Élite (2018), the Netflix sensation that’s basically Gossip Girl meets who-done-it murder mystery. Daniel’s style here is slick, moody, with colors that pop and angles that make the drama hit even harder. You can tell he’s obsessed with detail, always finding ways to make the mundane look cinematic.
People in the biz whisper about his work ethic—apparently, he’s the type who’ll camp out for hours just to grab that perfect bit of light. Not a lot of info about his personal life floating around, but honestly, his body of work says plenty. Whether he’s crafting a spine-tingling scare or painting a luxe high school in gold and neon, Daniel Sosa Segura’s got range, and Spanish cinema’s lucky to have him behind the camera.
