NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Stefan

photographer. film maker. cam op. colorist.
branding consultant.

i consist of 40 % pizza, 30 % coffee and 30 % awkward humor yet of 100 % passion for things i love. and i do love taking photographs!

i seriously love what i do. picking up my camera, serving as a canvas and tool for my creative mind, will always make me feel like a curious child exploring the world. you know the old saying „don’t grow up, it’s a trap…“ has become more relevant the older you get and at the same time more valuable than ever whenever clients tinker with AI in the hopes to save on budget. most of the time they burn through tokens and cash just to generate content that lacks both: a clear vision / execution and an emotional value to the customers base. i'm here to solve this for you: as an artist and a hard worker. that's why I listed my experience behind rigged cinema cameras in the headline as well. you find my camera packages on a separate side dedicated to cater both photo and video jobs. you can book me as a cam op, 1st AC or colorist for projects, too. i have no problem working in a team, in fact that's the strength of the creative community - crafting beautiful pieces and campagins together with ideas to solve puzzles for clients (no matter how big or small they are).

i feel deeply connected with my subjects and the emotions I want to provoke through my photographs. however, this little boy inside me also wants to add a new dimension to reality which is why perspective is a big part of my compositions and documentary work. i believe that a photographers goal above all is to be able to reveal to the viewers that you can find beauty in everything and every situation. capturing precious moments in people’s lives, raw emotions and those quirky smiles is a huge privilege to me.

prior to my work with personal clients (portrait and wedding photography) i’ve produced tailored content for brands across the globe for advertising campaigns and social media as well as image films. thus i love to accept requests for your somewhat crazy, maybe weird ideas and concepts for a photo shoot or video production.

my photographs are bold yet youthful and raw as they will always be a reflection of how i look at the world. i always put the human relationship between client and artist first rather than only selling to make ends meet. i believe in the fact that getting to know the person or brand and really showing interest and believing in the product/service is what makes my work stand out, honest and authentic.

oh btw i’m also available for bookings of authentic wedding documentaries, artistic elopements, and alternate storytelling through intentional and cinematic images.
