When film starts listening
giving music another way to touch people
Music has the ability to move us long after a song has ended.
It carries memory, emotion, and meaning – often without words.
Film can do the same.
When approached with care, it can extend what music already holds.
Film as a second instrument
Most artists I work with come to me with a finished song – not a finished idea.
Sometimes there’s a mood, a question, or a feeling.
Sometimes just: “This matters to me.”
From there, we figure out what the music needs;
visually, rhythmically, emotionally.
It’s all for you my love
At its core, my work is about devotion to something greater.
From my experience images reveal themselves – through music, through rhythm, through a sense of belonging to something wider.
This is where the work feels most alive.
And where it tends to touch others, too.
”Without music, life would be a mistake.

What it felt like
Benjamin is incredibly supportive and always brings out the very best in you. What starts as a vague idea turns into a true work of art in his hands. He clearly knows exactly what he’s doing and has a rare talent for making both experienced models and camera-shy people shine. It’s always an absolute pleasure working with him.

Benja is super creative, and it’s been so amazing to work with him.
I love how he dives into his projects so much, and he really wants to take the best out of it.
He is super supportive, joyful and present, where he guides you to find out what is needed in the project.
Thank you Benja for your beautiful work!

musican
The shoot with Benjamin was a truly magical day – full of lightness, laughter, and energy.
Thanks to his intuitive and empathetic way of working, I was able to let go of blockages, open up completely, and experience the moment in front of the camera with joy and freedom.
His expertise, sensitivity, and instinct for the perfect scene make him an exceptional photographer – I wholeheartedly recommend working with him.

Music has always moved faster than politics.
Long before things change on the surface,
songs begin to shift something underneath.
Artist portraits
Alongside film work, I create album imagery and artist portraits —
often developed in parallel with the music and visual world of a release.
When the music happens live
Some collaborations extend beyond music videos and releases.
I also work with artists in live contexts,
touring, concerts, festivals, rituals, and gatherings,
capturing what unfolds in the moment.
If your work lives on stage or in shared space,
you’ll find more about that here.
On the Journey with
Everything you need to know
Do you work with smaller or emerging artists?
Yes.
What matters to me is not size or visibility, but intention and commitment.
Some collaborations start small and grow over time.
Is this more about visuals or about the music?
The music always comes first.
Visuals are a way of extending what’s already present.
Do I need a clear concept before reaching out?
No.
From my experience the projects where I’m involved right from the beginning tend to work the best.
We usually clarify this in conversation.
Do you only do music videos?
No.
I also work on album imagery, artist portraits, live documentation,
and longer-form projects connected to releases or tours.
Everything that’s happening live you’ll find under the page Live & Events
Do you work internationally?
Yes.
Most projects I work on happen across different countries and contexts.
Over the years, this has included work in Europe, Latin America, and North Africa —
often following artists, music, or situations rather than a fixed base.
How do collaborations usually start?
With a conversation.
If there’s resonance, we explore what the project needs and take it from there.
If this resonates
If you’re carrying a song, an album, or a project
that feels important to you,
feel free to reach out and share it.
A short conversation is often enough
to see whether something wants to take shape.
