I was born and raised in a small village in Austria. At age 13 I started traveling as camera assistant with small crews throughout central Europe which ignited my passion for the art and craft and gave me a taste for the adventures cinematography and film making hold.
This passion and magic of capturing stories, brought me at the age of 18 to the US. Over the years I got band together with many diverse technicians and artists on commercials, music videos, short films, episodic TV and feature films of all budget levels.One truth prevails - cameras, lenses, lights, ... are all just tools to be explored, but not to be obsessed about. Let's put them to good use and capture stories and emotions worth sharing.
I feel deep gratitude that I get to join together and contribute with other filmmakers for brief, intensely driven moments in our lives and as the Cinematographer ensure that the integrity of all images captured uphold the director's and producer's vision from inception to projection.
Los Angeles is my home base, but I love to work in places near and far; whereever the next project takes me....
