Born near Freiburg i.Br., Master of Arts in Münster, Cinematography at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund. From Berlin i'm working since 1999 in national and international film-productions for cinema, tv and artworks. Until now art-historical image knowledge and conceptual thinking in images is a great treasure, drawing for camera work especially in lighting design. I like storytelling scripted by light, calm observing in documentaries, precise in taking blue- greenscreen shots and explorative in VR. The moment in which an image comes into beeing remains magical for me, like the encounters with people before and behind the camera.
