I’m Krisel Magaña, a Steadicam operator born in Tijuana, Mexico and based in Los Angeles. What drew me to Steadicam is the balance it demands—technical precision, physical discipline, and creative storytelling all working together in motion.

People often describe my shots as immersive, emotional, and well-timed. I take pride in creating images that feel alive, whether I’m capturing elegant movement in fashion or bringing flow and energy to television. Each project pushes me to refine my craft, blending instinct with artistry.

Outside of set life, I train in Muay Thai, a practice that’s shaped my discipline, focus, and sense of rhythm. Traveling and finding beauty in everyday moments also fuel my perspective behind the lens.

On set, I keep things professional but easygoing—I like to bring calm focus and collaboration to the work. My goal is always the same: to deliver shots that serve the story and give directors and DPs confidence that the vision is in good hands.
