About me

Hey! Glad you came here to get to know me!

I am 17 years old and from bavaria im Germany. My big passion is creating digital art. I got my A level in June '17. Since September '18 I am doing my apprenticeship at ARRI Media GmbH in Munich,

 

I started to take my first shots when i was a little child and from the first glance at the camera I knew this is my way.

Since then I gathered my skills through courses, webinars, books and autodidcactically (just doing it).

 

In the recent years I found my way to filmmaking and cinematography. My leading line is, I want to create films that look and feel similar to the ones on the big screens. I am fascinated by the way digital film production can alter reality and make it either far better than it really is or it makes you think of several problems mankind is confronted with. Films are all about telling a story. A story that touches the viewer in many different forms.

I think about it like that: what makes a film you watched so overwhelming, that you tell friends about it months later? In what way is the picture you see crucial for achieving this phenomenon? Can the mood, feeling, composition, colours, aspect, ... well the overall mix what your eyes perceive be deliberately influenced? - The answer is yes! And this is why I am enthusiastic about creating anything that has to do with digital pictures - whether stills or films. This is what I do and what I can help you to transfer to your ideas, projects and work.

 

My second big thing is music. I play Hammond Organ (B3) and Jazz/Funk/Blues Piano for 12 years. Lately i started to learn to play the drums in a funk/rock style.

I love playing with others and making a band is my dream if i had only found prople who like the music I like (Organ Explosion, Stevie Wonder, Booker T and the MGs, The Meters, Porcupine Tree, Tool and many more).
