About

Growing up in the peaceful forest of central Germany, I nevertheless spend most of the time behind my noisy drum set. After finishing school, I replaced the drums with cameras and studied film and cinematography on the sunny island of Rügen. I learned that hitting cameras with sticks normally doesn’t help making great images, but what does instead.
During my first years in the industry I moved to Berlin and worked mainly as a 1st AC for various DOPs on commercial and feature films. Since 2010 I’ve shot documentaries, commercials and corporate films on 6 of our 7 continents as a director of photography. Making films, for me, has a lot in common with playing in a band - everyone is important and needs to be in the same groove - that’s what it is about.
