I am a cameraman and colourist with more than ten years of experience. Having started my career in the film-theoretical field, I gained practical expertise in academia and through extensive fieldwork on sets. I have worked across documentaries, commercials, image films and TV programs, collaborating with international crews which taught me to stay solution-oriented in fast-paced environments. Since 2018 I also work as a colourist, collaborating with different DoPs and gaining a deep understanding of the post-production pipeline and image engineering.
