cinematography

Trained in the creation of cinematographic images in fiction, I then developed versatility, moving more and more towards documentary images. I have always chosen a form and a method of image creation according to the reason for which I am making it. This showreel is a palette of my work and can be read both ways. I've built up my experience as a cinematographer, cameraman, camera assistant, electro and solo.

about

I enjoy capturing atypical people, suspended moments and elements of nature that are difficult to access. I mainly work on small productions, both fiction and documentary, but I also supplement my skills with on-set work as a camera assistant or grip, always with a view to creating the strongest image with the elements given to me.

When it comes to directing, I'm particularly fond of the diversity provided by the absurdist style, in which I enjoy mixing pre-established codes. As a committed filmmaker, I like to explore the theme of human beings and how they are perceived by others in society.

Having started out at the age of 15 in the applied arts, I went on to study theatre and then film in London. After a spell in Paris, I returned to Switzerland to work freelance and set up the Abordage collective with other filmmakers.
