Background
I've graduated from DFFB (German Film- and Television Academy Berlin) in Cinematography.
Being a cinematographer myself, I've developed a holistic approach to moving image production and unmatched visual sensitivity to color grading.
My work is focused on collaboration and story telling, encompassing emotion, atmosphere, characters, framing, camera movement, rhythm, color, contrast and light, as opposed to a stricly technical approach.
Fully immersing myself in each films individual visual language and vision, I strive to exceed every projects potential, making it consistent and unique at the same time.
