Documentary Work

For over eight years, I have been shooting documentaries for renowned German broadcasters such as ZDF, ARD, ARTE, and SWR. My films have been showcased at numerous festivals and have received multiple awards.

Regardless of the project — whether it's a personal endeavor with unlimited shooting time or a high-pressure assignment with a rapid turnaround — I strive to capture moments that are emotional, compelling, and visually striking.
My passion lies in exploring social and environmental issues, with a focus on human emotion and interaction.


Based in Berlin, I work worldwide.

I primarily shoot with my Sony FX6, using a range of both vintage and modern lenses to suit each project’s unique vision.
​With an extensive lighting kit at my disposal, I am equipped to capture visually striking interviews and b-roll footage with a refined aesthetic.
