Bio
Geronimo was born in Lugano, Switzerland, the son of Argentinian documentary director Jorge Denti and Swiss painter Manuela Generali. He has spent most of his life in Mexico, where he majored in Film at the CCC (Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica).
Geronimo became a working cinematographer right out of school, and his aesthetic vision has developed in parallel across narrative fiction, television series, and documentaries. He has shot hundreds of commercials and music videos, working not only for the largest brands in the world but also for some of the most recognized artists, earning multiple awards for his work in both music and advertising, including the MTV Award for Best Cinematography for “Cómo Te Extraño Mi Amor” by Café Tacuba. He has worked with some of the industry’s most important directors, including Alejandro González Iñárritu, Jorge Aguilera, Juan Carlos Martín, Gustavo Garzón, Hari Sama, Fred Clapp, Daniel Gruener, Roberto Sneider, and Jorge Colón, and hand-in-hand with cinematographers like Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC, and Checco Varese, ASC.
Denti was awarded the Diosa de Plata – Gabriel Figueroa Prize for Best Cinematography in 2006 for his work on the feature film “Al Otro Lado.” His work in feature films began in 2000 with his cinematography on the award-winning film “De Ida y Vuelta,” directed by Salvador Aguirre, as well as Juan Carlos Rulfo’s documentary “Del Olvido al no me Acuerdo.” Earlier in his career, his short film “Silencio Profundo,” directed by Gustavo Loza, won Best Cinematography at the 17th Interfilm International Short Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. He has also had the opportunity to work alongside Vittorio Storaro, serving as second unit director of photography on Alfonso Arau’s film “Zapata: El Sueño del Héroe.”
Geronimo’s work as director of photography spans some of the most successful series across the Spanish-speaking Americas: “Los Héroes del Norte,” which had record-breaking ratings for Televisa in 2017, and “Cloroformo” and “Cien Días Para Enamorarnos,” which have drawn the largest audience ratings throughout Latin America.
Gerónimo Denti, AMC, was most recently the cinematographer for docu-series including “Noctámbulos” and “Maestros Olvidados,” both exploring the unseen, an empathetic look at remarkable people. “Noctámbulos,” directed by Arturo Ripstein, Sergio Muñoz, Yulene Olaizola, and Paulina del Paso, earned recognition from INPUT, the International Public Television Awards.
