Paco Herrera is a Mexico-based DoP who has worked for the advertising and film industries since 2000. With his company Baklight, Paco offers production services for video and photography shoots across Mexico.

His approach to lighting and framing reflect his Mexican background and the aesthetics picked up on trips around the world. Paco's working methods are supported by his broad international experience which allows him to transition from guerrilla-style shoots on location working with available light, to the most complex sound stage or back-lot projects; from fully-fledged drama to documentary, and everything in-between.
