About CAMEYE
THE ARTS. REFRAMED.
Cameye Studios is a women-led film studio dedicated to documenting the arts with emotional intelligence, cinematic craft, and deep creative care.
We specialise in filming live performance, exhibitions, socially engaged practice, and artist-led projects. Our mission is to redefine how art is documented and archived—by making the process itself a creative, inclusive act.
🎥 Documentation is a Creative Act
We don’t just point a camera. We move with the work—responding to its rhythm, space, and emotional terrain.
Our motto, “Be the work,” reflects our belief that documentation should be embodied, improvisational, and intuitive.
Whether we're filming a durational performance, a ritual, or a hybrid exhibition, we seek to translate essence—not just visuals—into film.
🌍 Why Representation Behind the Camera Matters
For too long, the documentation of art has been filtered through a singular, often male-dominated lens.
Cameye Studios exists to shift that paradigm—placing underrepresented creatives behind the camera and centering women and non-binary perspectives in how art is captured and shared.
We are actively building a majority women and non-binary production team, while also collaborating with trusted creatives across the gender spectrum who align with our values of care, equity, and creative integrity.
Our Approach
Every project is a creative collaboration. We show up with open eyes, adaptable methods, and a shared commitment to honouring the work. We blend: 1• Broadcast-quality cinematography 2• DIY and documentary aesthetics 3• Mindful filmmaking and presence-based practice 4• A spirit of experimentation and joy. Our technical and creative processes evolve to meet the unique needs of each project—whether for screen, archive, or public engagement.

OUR STORY
Cameye Studios began life in 2005 as Chameleoneye Films. In 2021, we rebranded to reflect an evolution of our practice—and in 2025, we step confidently into a new chapter as a women-led, feminist studio focused on inclusion, experimentation, and emotional intelligence.
“By age 12, I had lived on four continents—immersing myself in the stories, symbols, and art of different cultures. That journey led me to cultural anthropology, then filmmaking—not through film school, but through flow, community, and intuition.
My first films were of rituals and movement, not interviews or scripts. And that sense of presence still guides every frame we shoot.
Cameye Studios was born out of this ethos: art documentation as a living, breathing, creative act.”
— Ana de Matos, Founder & Director

Our Ethos
• Art First – We learn the language of your work before translating it visually.
• Human Connection – We prioritise empathy, focus, and deep listening.
• Diversity in Gaze – We work to reshape what art documentation looks like, and who shapes it.
• Improvisation Meets Precision – Our flow-state filming balances play with purpose.
• Tech as Tool – We use both 4K cameras and lo-fi gear, always guided by what best serves the story.


Our Team: An Evolving Organism
We are a women-led creative studio working with a close-knit network of filmmakers, artists, and technical specialists. Our long-term vision is to build a majority women and non-binary production team—but we also work with trusted collaborators across all genders who align with our values and help us deliver exceptional work.
From camera ops and editors to sound designers and colourists, our team evolves with each project—scaling to meet your needs with agility and heart.
WHY WORK WITH US?
Because we’re more than videographers.
We’re creative collaborators, story-shapers, and artists in our own right. We hold space for your vision while bringing our own lens of clarity, emotion, and experimentation.
Whether you're an arts organisation, producer, or artist—we’re ready to help your work reach further, resonate deeper, and be remembered with care.

People We've Worked With
Ana stands apart from many of her peers by virtue of how much she genuinely cares about the artworks, about the artists, and about making sure that the festival experience is represented meaningfully in equal measure. I honestly cannot think of anyone I would rather work with in this capacity. In an always moving, fast paced and high energy environment, Ana and her team at CAMEYE always bring the very best work I could hope for.
SPILL Festival of Performance
Ana de Matos / CAMEYE's experience and knowledge was of immense importance to the Goethe-Institut London during the pandemic as we had to re-think many planned projects and bring them into the digital space in a very short amount of time. Ana's expertise is immense and she advised us individually for every project to achieve the best outcome. She always remains so calm, professional and passionate – a unique mix. She really is committed to bring across the essence. Thus one knows that the quality and outcome will be excellent.
Goethe-Institut London, Head of Cultural Programs
CAMEYE supported the transition from our physical only to physical and digital events for our LCW 2020 festival by running a number of live streamed events from our programme through our social media channels. Ana and her team were incredibly flexible and responsive despite short time frames and challenging circumstances and were able to adapt to our needs and those of our partners without issues or compromise in quality. The range and style of work they cover is very impressive. We'll be sure to work with CAMEYE in the future.
