›We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.‹ (Werner Herzog) People can express themselves creatively in many ways. My approach to personal expression is the images I create. No two DoP's light and frame in exactly the same way. This individually human moment fascinates me. To guide the viewer's eye, to create atmosphere with light and color, I see as my privilege and responsibility. To create emotional relevance and depth in a sequence of moving images, to play with what the camera shows and what it deliberately leaves out, is always a complex decision that I enjoy. My quality standards include aesthetics as well as efficient work. Personally, I like the controlled moving camera, but my style does not follow rigid or repetitive paths, but rather a constant flow - always depending on the content of the project at hand. Anything else would be boring, if not negligent.
