Self-employed photographer and videographer since 2015

After gaining valuable experience as an employee, I resolutely chose self-employment in 2015. What started with assistance assignments quickly grew into my own client base — carefully built, assignment by assignment. Today, I work as a full-fledged photographer, videographer, editor, and post-producer for various clients, with a focus on quality, reliability, and a keen eye for detail.

First steps in the profession – and immediate all-round experience

My first paid assignments started behind the camera, but my role quickly expanded. From photography to editing, from sound recording to production and direction — step by step, I became involved in every aspect of the creative process. That versatile start laid the foundation for the broad expertise I apply in every project today.

Internship with Tim Luyten – a school for portrait and advertising

During my studies, I interned with photographer Tim Luyten, who was then best known for his strong work in portrait and advertising photography. An inspiring experience that not only sharpened my technical skills but also taught me to see with the eye of a storyteller.
