[on his career, 2011:] I'm a German DP [director of photography] living in Berlin. I've done 6 films by now, hundreds of commercials and hundreds of music videos. That's how I started with music videos 17 years ago. My first feature [ Ein göttlicher Job (2001)] was a not a nice experience, so i waited a long time until Anton Corbijn asked me to do Control (2007) with him. I like the mixture of different projects and being able to wait for the right film to do by doing shorter projects. Plus it can be a good training in terms of gear, speed, working in different countries...
