I am raised by a Danish mom and a German father and have been working as a Director of Photography ever since. I grew up in the north of Germany and started my career as a Photographer in my very early years. My Danish Aunt, a Photographer by herself gave me my first pocket-camera when I was six years old. I lost my hair when I was seven years old because of an immunodeficiency. It soon became my trademark.
After finishing school, I studied film and photography until 2010 at Die Medienakademie. Beside my passion for filming and taking pictures, I am a passionate Kitesurfer and spend most of my time with my family. I worked in a filmproduction company for three years in Hamburg after that I became a freelance DOP and Directing DP.
Currently I’m based in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, but travelling the whole world for my projects. In 2014/2015 I spent half a year in Cape Town and gave my support to the Maboneng Project as well as Matchbox South Africa. Most recently I’m working on commercials for ARD, Mercedes Benz, AOK, documentaries like TERRA X and some passionate musicvideos in between.

All the best, Phil
