Cinematographer for commercials and narrative based in Hamburg

Film is where I feel most alive, constantly driven by the creativity and challenges it brings. When I’m not on set crafting shots and perfecting details, you’ll find me at a film equipment rental house, surrounded by cameras, lights, and gear that fuel my creativity. For me, it’s not just about using the tools - it’s about understanding them inside and out, finding solutions, and pushing boundaries.
​
Over the years, I’ve learned how to turn ambitious ideas into reality, whether it’s rigging up a tricky setup, designing creative lighting plans, or fine-tuning the details that bring a project to life. My time working in the rental world has sharpened my technical expertise and taught me how to adapt to any challenge a shoot can throw at me.
When the day’s wrapped and the last C-stand is packed away, you’ll find me with a cold beer in hand, plotting the next great setup or debating the finer points of vintage lenses. (Trust me, you want me on your pub quiz team for “Camera Trivia.”)
​
So, if you’re looking for someone who combines technical expertise with a genuine love for filmmaking - or if you just want to chat about cameras over a cold one - feel free to reach out. Let’s create something great together.
