I grew up in a small village in eastern Germany, a place shaped by contrasts and conversations that sharpened my sense of perspective and responsibility. This early awareness stayed with me and eventually led me to study audiovisual media with a focus on documentary filmmaking.
Today, I work primarily as a cinematographer, with a visual approach deeply rooted in documentary practice. Observation, presence and time with people influence how I frame, move and shape images.
Whether I’m shooting documentaries or commercial work, I’m drawn to moments that feel genuine, to environments that require sensitivity, and to images that emerge from real situations rather than being imposed on them. Encounters with different cultures, landscapes and artistic perspectives continue to shape my visual language: attentive, human and grounded in the world as it is.
