cinematography and lighting
I work as freelance cinematographer, gaffer for music videos and lighting technician for cinema - based in Berlin and Mexico.
During my studies of political science I discovered my passion for visual storytelling. In search of ways to communicate political content beyond the academic audience, I decided to shoot my first documentary in 2009 in Mexico.
Fascinated by the possibilities of this medium, i began to focus on creating images, shaping forms and setting moods with light.
Between 2011 and 2014 I studied cinematography in a small self-organized film school in Berlin, collaborating with various other schools and worked part-time in a film equipment rental store where I was able to deepen my technical knowledge.
Since 2014 I have been working as a freelance cinematographer in Berlin. Experienced through documentaries, fiction, music videos, TV and advertising productions at home and abroad as DoP, gimbal operator, lighting technician, drone pilot and drone camera operator.
