Cinema with presence
where depth matters more than performance
A few things worth knowing
I work with images because I’m interested in what’s real. Not in a moral way, neither in a “perfectly authentic” performance.
I mean the simple difference between something that is alive and something that only looks alive.
Most projects come to me as a format request: a music video, an aftermovie, a brand film, a portrait, a short documentary. That is perfectly fine, but it is rarely the actual task. The task is usually clarity.
Someone wants to be seen without being misrepresented.
A team wants a film that feels true to what they are building, not a shiny layer on top.
An artist wants the visual world to carry the same weight as the music.
An event wants to be remembered without turning it into a highlight-reel cliché.
I like working fast when it helps…. and slowing down when it matters. I am comfortable in chaotic live situations where nothing happens twice, and I am just as comfortable shaping a story when the project needs structure. I take responsibility for the visual language and the final decisions.
If a project relies on selling an illusion, I am not the right person.
If the project has a spark, even if it is still messy, we will probably get along.
If you want, send me a few lines about what you are building, what the visual needs to do, and what must not be lost in translation. We’ll usually know quite quickly whether it makes sense to move forward.

Voices
What it felt like
Here’s a small glimpse into the person behind the images.
Rumor has it this doesn’t happen often —
the filmmaker appearing on camera,
before returning to his natural habitat.
Music collaborations
Working with artists
from music videos and album imagery to tour documentation and promotional material.
I care deeply about visual language and projects that carry a clearer social, political or ecological tension.
Live formats
Being present while things unfold
I work with live formats such as retreats, festivals, and gatherings.
On-site filming, aftermovies, and longer-form documentation —
close to what’s unfolding, without directing the situation.
Cultural & impact projects
Time to give back
I’m gradually moving into longer-form and non-profit impact-driven projects.
This includes cultural initiatives, social themes, and collaborations with NGOs, associations, and funding bodies.
Selected commercial work
Visual work with purpose
working with individuals, organisations, or brands
that value clarity, aesthetics, and thoughtful representation.
This includes image films, portraits, and educational formats,
developed with visual quality, time, and intention.
One last thing
At the end of the day,
I work with images because I’m curious about people.
If you have an idea, a project, or a vision you’re carrying —
feel free to reach out and share it.
Sometimes a conversation is all it takes
to see whether something wants to grow.
