I'm a freelance cinematographer and filmmaker with over 10 years of experience in the industry. I've been lucky enough to work on a variety of projects, from music videos to behind-the-scenes documentaries, fashion films and have had the opportunity to capture stunning visuals in some of the most beautiful places across Africa. I was born in Germany and raised in South Africa, so I bring a unique perspective to my work. Now I call Lisbon, Portugal my home. I'm all about collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life, and I'm here to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. I can help with everything from conceptualisation to post-production, and I'm always down to work with a team. On top of my professional pursuits, I've also dabbled in modeling and acting for TVC’s, so I understand what it's like to be on the other side of the camera. This helps me to make sure that I know how to make my clients feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera too. What ever your idea for a project , let's bring to life, let's chat! I'd love to hear about your vision and see how I can help you make it happen. Whether it's here in Lisbon or somewhere else around the world. Let’s Create, Let’s Shoot and Let’s Make Some Magic!
