Images tell stories. Since 2013, it has been my passion to find the perfect images for a wide variety of projects as a cinematographer and filmmaker.
Many directors, artists and enterprises have put their faith into my work, which lead to a rich and divers portfolio of Music Videos, short films and corporate clips.
Beside my work as a DP, I gathered valuable experiences as a technician on big shoots for TV, commercials and music videos as a Gaffer, Electrician or Assistant Camera in Switzerland and Germany.
I'm studying films (camera) at the Zurich University of Arts (since 2017).
I'm a member and co-founder of the collective "Filmfraktion", based in Zurich.
BIOGRAPHY
MOVING LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.
Born in 1998 as the son of a musician and a sound engineer, I discovered my joy in filmmaking at an early age through music and first short video clips.
After various internships and first experiences on sets in Germany and Switzerland, I studied film at the Zurich University of Arts from 2017 to 2021 (with a focus on Cinematography). At the same time, I gathered more practical experience and further education in both the camera and light department.
Today, in addition to my own projects, I work as a freelance Electrician and Lighting Assistant, as well as Gaffer on smaller productions.
I can provide my own professional lighting equipment for every type of shoot (see full list).
I'm a member of the collective "Filmfraktion", based in Zurich, and of the SSFV (Swiss Film Union).
