The moment I picked up my dad's old Pentax as a 12-year-old, looking through that viewfinder opened up a whole new world for me. More than two decades later, I still feel the same excitement every time I frame a shot. My love for how light and shade shapes the world goes into every project I film, from commercial ads to music videos. Having a professional background in music, it isn't a surprise that the latter are the majority of my work. I enjoy working closely with musicians and supporting their work with a new layer of images.
A few random facts...
The music videos I've had the pleasure to shoot have accumulated more than 5 million views on youtube so far.
National Geographic published my photo "Cloudy Horizon" in their January 2017 issue. I took this photo while being stuck with a snow mobile in the middle of Finnish Lapland. It reminded me of how I like to look at mishaps: You usually get something positive out of them as well, if you bother to look for it.
Some wonderful artist I had the pleasure to work with are Lina Maly, Antje Schomaker, Bowie, WIM, Phil Siemers, miu, ToyToy, Debby Smith and Jan Loechel.
