Hello there
As you might have already guessed, a big influence on me as a filmmaker, and especially as a DoP, is the Star Wars universe. I love not only the storytelling, but also the feeling that the dark and contrasty images achieve. The universe feels colorful, diverse and magical. Even though it is dark, there is always light and thereby hope.
But let’s get real.
The second most important reason for me to start working in the film industry has to be my parents, both of whom are creatives. At home, we always talked about movie ideas and I learned to help them in their company from an early age. This and my curiosity for science is what paved the way for my Media Technology studies at the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg, where I got to hold my first real cinema camera and the chance to produce my very own shorts.
At the end of my Media Technology study, I did an internship where I got my first glimpse of VIRUS. VIRUS is a small department inside of the Markenfilm Group. It is focused on uncomplicated solutions and quality content. After completing my studies, I was offered a position as a Filmmaker there and that’s where I work most of the time.
I still do freelance work and, more importantly, passion projects like music videos, shorts and everything else. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in collaborating. I am always interested in fresh ideas and projects.
Thanks for staying 😊
