I’m a freelance Filmmaker, Director of Photography, Videographer, Photographer and Drone Operator based in Milan, Italy and available for projects across the world, and beyond.

From concept to final edit, I strive to find the perfect rhythm between technical precision and creative spontaneity.
Born in Germany and raised in Italy, I bring a multicultural perspective and a keen eye for detail to every production, and I collaborate with brands, agencies, and artists to create content that connects, inspires, and stands out.

HOW I DO IT
With German precision and Milanese elegance, I approach every project as a blend of craft and creativity.
From the first idea to the final frame, my goal is to create visual stories that are as refined as they are expressive.
Each production reflects my pursuit of cinematic quality, where style, rhythm, and emotion meet seamlessly.
PRE-PRODUCTION
Every strong image starts with a clear vision.
In this phase, I work closely with clients to shape the concept, define the aesthetic, and plan every detail, ensuring that the creative direction aligns perfectly with client’s goals.
Whether it’s a commercial, a fashion film, or a lifestyle campaign, here we build the foundation for impactful storytelling.
PRODUCTION
This is where vision turns into motion.
On set, I combine technical precision with a cinematic eye.
I capture visuals with intention, balancing elegance and dynamism in every frame.
Wherever I’m shooting, I bring refinement, flexibility, and innovation to every production.
POST-PRODUCTION
Editing is where everything comes together.
Through careful video editing, color grading and sound design, I refine each project into a cohesive visual experience that engages and inspires.
The result is a polished piece that speaks with clarity and style.
