Short description

More than 10 years of camera work in documentary film has presented me with many challenges. A sensitive and close handheld camera, solid pans with long focal lengths, aerial shots, underwater, black and white. In 2010 I graduated from the ZeLIG, School for Documentary Film and with the Master's studies at the Film University Konrad Wolf Babelsberg I was also able to gain experience in feature film. For the past 15 years I have lived and worked in Italy, Germany, Israel and France and I speak German, Italian, English and French fluently.
