Real moments.

Properly
Captured

I shoot photography the way I shoot documentary — no directing, no staging, no performance. Just people and places as they actually are.

Four Things That Shape My Work

Documentary First

I shoot photography the way I shoot documentary — no directing, no staging, no performance. Just people and places as they actually are.

A Cinematographer's Eye

I work with a cinema camera hybrid as my main photography body. That means shallow depth, deliberate light, and images that feel like stills from a film — not snapshots.

No Two Shoots Are the Same

A portrait session in a CrossFit box needs a different eye than a wedding in the Black Forest. I read the context and shoot accordingly — the approach adapts, the standard doesn’t.

Cape Town to Karlsruhe

I grew up between cultures and learned early that the most interesting moments happen in the in-between. That background shapes how I see people — and what I choose to capture.

Portraits

People don’t remember poses. They remember the moment someone stopped performing and just existed. I shoot portraits the way I shoot documentary — looking for the real version, not the rehearsed one.

Weddings

I shoot weddings as a photographer only — no video packages. My approach is documentary: no directing, no staging, no forced smiles. Just the day as it actually happened, preserved properly.

Events

Crowds, energy, the beat before something happens and the moment after. Events move fast and don’t repeat. I cover them with the same attention I bring to a documentary set — nothing staged, nothing missed
