PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion for photography ignited on a family holiday trip where I was gifted a disposable camera. From that moment on, I was hooked. My parents further fueled my passion by giving me older point-and-shoot cameras to experiment with. My 16th birthday marked a turning point when I received a DSLR camera, which I took with me to high school in Canada. The photography class I took there taught me how to use my camera to its full potential and elevated my skills to a whole new level.

The past few years have seen me fall in love with the art of analog photography, embracing the tangible and unpredictable nature of film. While I still shoot digitally when required, nothing compares to the thrill and excitement of capturing memories on film. Photography is not just a hobby for me, it's a true passion that continues to evolve and inspire me every day.

FILMMAKING

My passion for filmmaking began during my high school exchange year in British Columbia (2014/2015), where a videography class sparked my interest in camera work. That was where I first learned the fundamentals of rack focusing using Canon kit lenses, an experience that shaped my path forward.

In 2017, I decided to leave high school in Germany to fully dedicate myself to filmmaking. I started working as a camera assistant for Philipp Baben der Erde, one of Germany’s most accomplished directors of photography, which allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience. Later, I completed an apprenticeship at Territory as an audiovisual media designer.

Today, I work as a freelance 1st Assistant Camera, Gaffer, and Electrician. I also occasionally take on projects as an aspiring Director of Photography, mainly for content productions and smaller commercials. I enjoy collaborating with professional crews and am always open to new projects and challenges that allow me to expand my technical expertise and contribute to high-quality productions.
