Born and raised in Austria, Europe
School of Photography with Master Degree in Vienna
Started out at Degn Film Production Company in Salzburg, Austria shooting Documentaries for German, Swiss and Austrian Television Channels all over the world.
The urge of returning to my Roots and shooting Celluloid instead of Video, I moved to Hollywood in the early 1990’s, working my way up on Movies of the Week and TV Productions like Touched by an Angel and Promised Land until I got into the Commercial and Music Video Industry working as a Camera Operator for Samuel Bayer, Paul Giraud, Harris Savides, Paul Hunter, Klaus Obermeyer, Ken Arlidge and Warren Kushner to name a few.
Car Commercials for Range Rover, Ford, Chevrolet, VW, Lexus, Cadillac and Honda
Music Videos for Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Marilyn Manson
Feature Films and TV Content like After Earth, Yellowstone, High School Musical and American Horror Story etc.
Started as DP in early 2000, eventually moving once again from Celluloid to HD Productions.
Commercials, a 12 Episodes Netflix TV Show and Documentaries have been my passion since.
While continuing to work on the prospect of an Oscar Nomination, the future is bright and the “let’s shoot” mindset is still the attitude - drawing with light is my passion and I feel privileged to do so for a living.
Fun Fact - other trades before reaching my dream Profession included, Hockey Player (only got one Paycheck), Dish Washer, Snowboard Instructor, Hotel Night Clerk, T-Shirt Soak Screener, Hot Air Balloon Chaser and Wine Harvest Grape picker (the fastest one by the way)
Proud father of three wonderful daughters and Husband of my Argentine Queen Victoria
