About Maxim Westermann

Hi! I´m Maxim, freelance Director of Photography in Berlin.

My goal: to create strong and precise visuals that transport the visions and stories of my clients. While always bringing about a positive atmosphere within the team and on set.

I have experience with various digital camera systems, gimbals, drones, focus-pulling systems and lighting equipment. As a cinematographer and camera-op. If the project requires it I can also edit and colorgrade my footage.

Flexibility, being able to quickly adjust camera movements and to find the lighting setups that create the desired mood define my work.

Throughout the years I have worked with many incredibly talented and decent people. And that is - besides all the pretty images - my main driver: the people, the stories, the insights and little bits and pieces in life that I can pick up on the way working in this job.

I´m looking forward to collaborating!
