Junior Lucano, born in Lima, Peru, is a camera operator, Steadicam operator, ARRI Trinity operator and owner, and certified as “Trinity Trainer” for Arri.

After graduating from high school in Los Angeles, he pursued his interest in arts and animation and took his first steps in the video industry by working as video editor on small projects.

In early 2006, he developed his career in Italy as a camera operator in private television, working in the news department and accompanying journalists daily to bring the news to the TV station. This period allowed Lucano to enchance his skills of storytelling in a fast and effective manner. Working on short films and music videos during his days off inspired him to attend a private Steadicam workshop in Italy with Mr. Marco Buzzetti, which became a turning point in his career as he delved deeper into his passion for camera movements.

After working 3 years in private television, he resigned and began freelancing for TV commercials. His first job in the film industry was as a camera operator for an independent film in Italy in 2011, and his first film as Steadicam operator was in 2013. In 2015, he moved to China, and by 2016, he was working as Steadicam operator on his first Chinese film.

In March 2018, Lucano decided to expand his Steadicam career by purchasing the new Trinity system from Arri, becoming the first Trinity operator in Asia. He quickly developed the necessary skills and passion for the new equipment, which allowed Lucano to rapidly grow in the Chinese film industry. One year later, his global achievements and successful projects earned him the trust of Mr. Schaller, who certified him as “Trinity Trainer” for Arri. Subsequently, Lucano began working closely with Arri, representing the company at industry exhibitions and various workshops throughout China.

Currently, Lucano continues to work globally and in the region as a Trinity operator, collaborating with established and renowned directors of China. He has become essential to many production houses, directors, and cinematographers from different cultures and backgrounds, shooting feature films, short films, TV commercials, and music videos.
