Photographer and filmmaker in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region
For more than twelve years I’ve photographed and filmed for companies, hotels, restaurants and private clients: corporate events and concerts, weddings, portraits, food, products, interiors and architecture. I shoot the stills and the film myself, so the photographs and the trailer that goes with them share one visual language — in the studio or on location.
I’m based in Rüsselsheim, between Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz. Most of my work is here in the Rhine-Main region, and I take bookings across Germany and abroad.

What I do
Film and photography are my craft. Around them: music, fine art photography, brand marketing and ventures of my own.
Concept & growth
Want your brand to grow? I develop the concept — and produce the content for it.
Growth concepts, content strategy, marketing and campaigns — all from a single source. I shoot what I plan, and I test my ideas on online stores of my own.

Photographer & Filmmaker
I’ve worked as a photographer and filmmaker for more than twelve years.
Believing in what I can do is what drives me — it gives me the energy to start and the stamina to turn an idea into something real. Through the lens, everyday things become worth a second look. My eye for detail shows in every project I take on.

Frequently asked questions
- Corporate events and concerts, weddings, portraits, food, products, interiors and architecture — for companies, hotels, restaurants and private clients. I shoot both the stills and the film, so the photographs and the trailer that goes with them share the same visual language — in the studio or on location.
- I’m based in Rüsselsheim am Main, between Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz. Most of my work is here in the Rhine-Main region — from Darmstadt and Hofheim to Hanau and Bad Homburg. I also take bookings across Germany and abroad; hotels, editorials and events have taken me to Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Zurich, Dublin, Santorini and Marbella.
- By phone Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, Saturdays from 12:00, closed on Sundays. Shoots can happen any day of the week, in the evening and on public holidays — and at short notice, as long as the date is still open: in an emergency even the same day, with a few hours’ notice and a quote to match.
- There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — a figure that suits a hotel walkthrough, a corporate event and a portrait at once would be wrong for all three. Every project gets its own quote: your inquiry sets out the scope, my quote sets out the price, and both are agreed before anything is shot. A session starts at 250 euro plus VAT; day rates and package prices are available on request, based on scope, usage rights and date. Every inquiry is non-binding.
- Not within the inner Rhine-Main zone. The outer zone costs a flat 25.00 euro; further out, it’s 0.55 euro per kilometer on top of the same flat fee, plus an overnight allowance from 250 kilometers.
- Via WeTransfer, Dropbox, Picdrop or Frame.io — as a password-protected link if you prefer. The link is valid for three months by default and can be used as often as you need in that time; longer storage can be booked as an extra.
- How you’ll use the images is part of every inquiry, so it’s agreed before anything is shot — website, social media, catalog, menu, press or something else. Usage rights are one of the factors behind the price, which is why they’re spelled out in the quote.
