I am a 27-year-old, multi-award winning, freelance wildlife camera operator and conservationist based in southern Germany. I have worked for NatGeo Wild, Off the Fence Productions, NDR Doclights, Blue Planet Film, Flying Pangolin Film, Arte and WWF among others. With unique wildlife stories and perspectives, I try to strengthen the connection between people and nature.
Here is my first little FPV drone showreel! Have fun watching it😊
I'm really looking forward to shooting the first footage for a wildlife documentary with it! The results are particularly suitable as POV shots, for example to recreate how a kingfisher flies through the course of a river, just to name one of a thousand possibilities.
I am specialised in filming with
long lens, with and without camouflage suit or hide. Mostly I´m using the Sony FX6 with the Sony 200-600mm with and without the 2x Teleconverter.
Drones, EU certified. I´m enjoying filming landscapes but also animal behaviour (with appropriate safety precautions so that the animals are not disturbed). I also have experience flying racing drones (FPV).
Gimbal. I myself own the DJI RS2 and use it mainly with my Sony FX6 and Atomos Shogun 7 recorder. I also have experience with the Zhiyun Crane 3S.
I am also comfortable shooting
Underwater, using the Sony A7iii in a Nauticam housing (Padi Advanced Open Water Diver certified)
Infrared and 4K HDR video camera traps
Timelapse
