In my teenage already I came to understand the result of using a camera to capture moments - You'll never be present on your pictures. Then 2012 everything started with live-concert and event capturing, which taught me the importance of a non-attention seeking camera. While connecting with your subject without it dedicating its performance intentionally to you.
At the end of my studies in Media Design with focus on motion pictures the urge of having that performance in a controlled environment led me towards fiction and visual storytelling using my skills to anticipate action on set and combine it with a carefully construed storyboard to implement the bigger picture.
After graduating as Bachelor of Arts in 2014 international collaborations on videoclips, shorts and feature productions as DP,
camera operator, gaffer or grip as well as color grading my own footage became a day to day exercise.
Cultural understanding, adaptation and communication are essentials I believe in. Only the full comprehension of your crew's mindset results in an efficient and well rewarded shooting. Empathy for a characters' story is key and one major source of my inspiration, which eventually tempts me to add that particular ingredient for a unique cinematic experience.
