Cinematographer » London

Every new film calls for its own visual language. I am keen to explore all nuances together with a director to craft a distinct look.

Growing up in rural Germany, a simple click-and-shoot film camera sparked the desire to capture moments. Years of documenting my friends skateboarding on videotape and taking pictures eventually led me to filmmaking.

After learning the ropes in production offices for feature film and high-end commercials, I studied Cinematography at Bournemouth Film School and FAMU in Prague.

I have shot commercials for Nike, Volvo, Adidas, L’Oreal, Asics, Spotify, Vodafone among many others. My music promo work includes collaborations with artists such as Goldfrapp, George Ezra, The 1975 and others. In 2017 my debut feature film A Moving Image was released in UK cinemas.

I’m grateful for exciting projects and collaborators that take me around the world.
