| Special skills | Throughout many years of independent film making I acquired abilities in planning shootings, designing sets, co-directing. Furthermore I've been exercising the role of 1st AC, gaffer, grip as well as major capabilities in camera and steadicam operating, without being scared off daily workloads around 12 hours and more. |

| Education | In 2012 during my studies I started live-concert and event capturing, which taught me the importance of a non-attention seeking camera. To connect with your subject without it dedicating its performance intentionally to you. In 2014 after graduating with the Bachelor of Arts from "Media Design" the urge of having that performance in a controlled environment led me towards fiction and visual storytelling using my skills to anticipate action on set and combine it with a carefully construed storyboard to implement the bigger picture. From 2015 on international collaboration on videoclips, shorts and feature productions as DP, camera operator, gaffer or grip as well as color grading my own footage became a day to day exercise. |
