I'm a multidisciplinary visual storyteller based in Düsseldorf, working across film and photography as a director, DoP, editor, and stills photographer.
I started out in editing — first at MTV, then in production companies and agencies — and that foundation still shapes how I approach every project: story always comes first. Whether I’m directing, shooting, or crafting a cut, I stay hands-on from start to finish.
​
As and editor, I often collaborate closely with agencies and other directors, jumping in at different stages, bringing my director's vision to shape work that feels intentional, grounded, and real.
​My photography runs parallel to my film work. It’s an instinctive space where I explore people, place, and light through a different lens. No matter the format, I’m always aiming for images that express emotions and are sharp in feeling.
