Profil

Every person has a story. I want to capture it authentically and honestly with my camera. Enthusiastically and innovatively. Always with respect for my protagonists, their culture and faith.

I have filmed out of a low flying helicopter going over enemy lines, on top of a 6000m high mountain, at -53ºC in Siberia or +43ºC in the Namib desert, with indigenous people in the remotest regions of our planet or in the thick of a hooligan riot. Principally, I am happy to film in any country at any time, however I am not gung-ho or in search for the next adrenalin rush. I love working as part of a team.

As I am also a picture-editor, I know just how hard it is to cut a good film out of reels of unstructured, random images. I therefore plan and think ahead, paying painstaking attention to getting the right footage for solid and smooth sequences.
