UNDERWATER
I am happy when I can combine work and passion. Whether swimming, surfing, or diving, water has always been my element - my connection to these water sports started early in my childhood.
So I have also always enjoyed filming underwater, both for my work as a dop and as part of a team as an operator and 2nd unit.
Combining art and technically demanding diving is fun, challenging, and requires some experience. So, in addition to my work as a cinematographer, I have also trained as a professional scientific (ESD), tech, and CCR diver.
EQUIPMENT
Housings which fits most modern Cine Cameras like Arri Alexa Mini/MiniLF & RED V-Raptor cameras, surface cables, on-board and surface monitors, underwater LED systems, scooters, scuba and rebreather dive systems - depending on project size and planning.
CREW
When working underwater, good teamwork is crucial not only from a creative point of view but also for safety reasons. In addition to training, contacts, and experience with safety divers, stunt, light, and rigging divers and operators are essential. I have a good pool of contacts with professional diving at work licenses and experience in team diving that I would like to pass on.
