Born and raised in Berlin, I discovered my love for photography early on. This later grew to be a love for storytelling and filmmaking. During my cinematography studies at the German Film and Television Academy (Dffb), I experimented a lot with light and camera movements, but mostly with how the story and the images come together. How one influences the other, carries it, or deliberately sets a contrast to it to make visible what might otherwise keep unseen. I see the work between the Director and the DoP as a kind of constant interpreting, a translation of one language into another, then back again and so on - until in the end a new, common language emerges.
