“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera” - Dorothea Lange
For me, being a filmmaker means working with many creative people to bring a story to the screen.
As a cinematographer, I primarily look for the core of the story that is to be told. Based on this, the director and I develop a visual language that suits the film.
Being a cinematographer means going through the world with open eyes and being inspired by everyday life. Collecting ideas within yourself that you can realise at the right time.
I love working in a film team, I love travelling and I long to learn about the world and its people.
For me, there is no better job than being a cinematographer.
