About
Felicia Varlotto is a Los Angeles based cinematographer working across narrative, commercial, and documentary film. Her narrative work has screened at Academy Award and BAFTA qualifying festivals worldwide. In 2026, she was accepted into the International Collective of Female Cinematographers (ICF+C), a curated global network recognizing distinctive voices in cinematography.
Diagnosed at a young age with diplopia (double vision), Felicia’s perception of the world has always been layered, both literally and metaphorically. After undergoing corrective surgery, she became deeply interested in perspective, identity, and the fluid nature of reality. This early visual duality continues to inform her approach to cinematography, where she often incorporates surrealist elements, practical effects, and experimental filtration to explore emotional subjectivity.
Drawing inspiration from memory, dreams, and lived experience, Felicia crafts images that balance sensory immersion with narrative clarity. While her personal aesthetic leans toward the surreal, she adapts her visual language to serve the emotional needs of each project.
In addition to her cinematography, Felicia’s photography (both film and digital) has been featured in online exhibitions, published in magazines, presented in a gallery exhibition in Amsterdam, and displayed in Times Square.
Felicia holds a BFA from Emerson College and an MFA in Film Production with a concentration in Cinematography from Chapman University.
