Gabriel Noguez is a Mexican documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and photographer based in Los Angeles.

Born and raised in Tijuana, México, he studied Film and Television at UCLA with a specialization in documentary filmmaking, where he developed an intimate and poetic approach to visual storytelling under the mentorship of cinema vérité pioneer Marina Goldovskaya and artist and filmmaker Rebeca Méndez.

Gabriel approaches the camera as both a sketchbook and an instrument of intuition, with a practice grounded in observation, atmosphere, and a deep interest in the emotional lives of his subjects.

In 2011, Gabriel co-founded Ceremony, an independent film company producing short films, documentaries, music videos, and commercial work for clients including Nike, 88rising, and J.P. Morgan. Through Ceremony, he developed a visual language rooted in documentary storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and youth culture.

He currently serves as Senior Media Producer at the Hammer Museum at UCLA, where he directs and produces documentary films, artist portraits, exhibition trailers, and other media centered on contemporary art and culture in Los Angeles.

Previously, Gabriel worked as a video director and editor for GoPro, traveling internationally to create short documentaries, and has contributed to creative productions for organizations including Apple.

His recent documentary work explores the intersections of art, identity, history, and cultural memory. Drawing from more than five years directing artist documentaries at the Hammer Museum, Gabriel brings a documentary sensibility to all of his filmmaking: working intimately with his subjects, immersing himself in their environments, and searching for emotional truth through patient observation and cinematic storytelling.
