Summary

I'm a Director and CG-Artist with a sense for cinematography, lighting and storytelling. I’m striving to create emotional stories and visuals with great attention to detail, an moody atmosphere, and an organic, authentic feel. Beyond the digital world, I also enjoy working with real cameras and lighting.
