ABOUT
Hello world, Iām Dave - a director, photographer, and German lad based in London.
I love vintage lenses, mid century design and spicy Korean food. Maldon salt and Avatar the last Airbender are also high up on the list.
Beyond having a strange array of interests, I work with brands, agencies and production companies to tell captivating stories through visual campaigns.
This happens either as a director or as a photographer (digital & analog). Sometimes it happens as both!
Beyond my commercial work I direct narrative films, documentaries and music videos that tend to explore the emotional connection between people and the environment that surrounds them.
Intimate high-contrast images, raw textures and elements of the absurd in my work shape an aesthetic I like to call stylised yet unfiltered.
Striking moments that remind us of who we are, and that we are much more similar than we are different!
While I love to work with editors and DoPs, I am fluent in DaVinci Resolve and quite handy with a camera, meaning I shoot & edit projects myself when needed (yes I know, a true filmmaker).
With a background in production, I self-produce small-scale shoots while collaborating with a trusted network of producers to turn the more demanding briefs into reality through creative collaboration.
