I'm a professional videographer and photographer who creates high-quality visual stories that feel natural and authentic. My work captures genuine emotion and connects with audiences on a deeper level. I handle everything from concept to delivery—I have professional camera equipment, lighting, sound, and post-production capabilities to bring your vision to life. Whether it's short-form content, long-form video, photography, or marketing materials, I approach each project with the same commitment to excellence. What sets me apart is my people-first approach. Before I pick up a camera, I invest time in understanding you—what story you want to tell, what emotions you want to evoke, and what your key objectives are. This collaborative process ensures the final product truly reflects your vision. My journey into visual storytelling began organically through travel. Over the past 8 years, I've explored 26 countries and lived in 3, and those experiences ignited my passion for capturing moments that inspire. While I have a background in software development and product management in tech, my heart has always belonged to creative work. You can explore my portfolio on Instagram: _Website not available.

Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment
    paper Social Media for Wellness Business In Portugal: Horse-Assisted Coaching in Portugal

    PROJECT OVERVIEW
    Client: Cavalo Feliz - Horse-Assisted Coaching Retreat
    Location: Encarnação, Portugal
    Founder: Elke Schatzdorfer-Reiter
    Industry: Wellness Retreats, Equine-Assisted Coaching
    Project Type: Complete Brand Film Package

    Cavalo Feliz is a heart-led horse retreat offering MindMirror® horse-assisted coaching for personal growth and inner healing. Founded by Elke, an Austrian physiotherapist and certified coach with 50+ years of horse experience, the retreat needed to:

    → Communicate the transformative nature of their horse-assisted coaching
    → Attract international guests seeking authentic healing experiences
    → Showcase the peaceful Portuguese countryside setting
    → Build trust with potential guests unfamiliar with equine therapy
    → Stand out in the wellness retreat market

    The deeper need: How do you capture something as intangible as “healing through presence with horses” on film?

    APPROACH
    Rather than creating a promotional video about the retreat, we focused on authentic human experience. We followed Victoria, a guest from Germany, through her actual coaching journey—capturing real moments of connection, vulnerability, and discovery.
