✨ DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER ✨

This awards season brought both a landmark moment and a wonderful surprise.

We were incredibly honoured to receive a Special Award from the AIP (Portuguese Society of Cinematographers), recognising 25 years of celebrating the art and craft of cinematography. A heartfelt thank you to the AIP for this unexpected tribute.

Congratulations also to Autumn Durald Arkapaw ASC on her historic Academy Award win for Sinners — a truly inspiring achievement and a milestone for cinematography. Her success is a reminder of the importance of representation, inclusivity, and creating more opportunities across our industry.

This edition is dedicated to Autumn and her remarkable achievement.

Here’s to the storytellers, image-makers, and cinematography lovers everywhere.

Long live cinematography. 🎥
