Hi I'm Markus, a Berlin based Director of Photography.
I've always loved stories with good style and humor. When I was twelve years old, I took my uncle’s DV-Cam and shot the legendary action movie „The adventures of MG“. Ever since I tried to meet the standards of this masterpiece. At filmacademy Baden-Württemberg I got myself some more skills.
In my work I focus on precise visual storytelling. My goal is to always find the perfect style to fit the needs of every story. I love getting involved with projects from an early stage onwards to prep in close collaboration with the director and all creative departments.
Check out my reel to find out more about my different visual styles.
