About

With over 15 years of experience as a DOP in the Film & TV Industry,  turning ideas into engaging visual stories is my happy daily routine.  My films have been shown in major film festivals around the world incl. the Berlinale, Palm Springs, Busan-South Korea and more.  In 2020 I founded VINOA a small boutique production company that provides video marketing services for the B2B landscape specialising in the 3D printing industry.
