CRAFTING VISUALS: A JOURNEY ACROSS TWO WORLDS
My journey as a visual storyteller has taken me from the world of analog film to the cutting edge of generative AI. I started hands-on with cameras and lighting, honing my craft on sets and in studios. This foundation taught me that every angle, every detail, and every nuance of light shapes how a story is told.
Today, I’m blending these traditional techniques with the endless possibilities of AI. For me, AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to extend what’s possible. Every “prompt” feels like setting up a shot: considering light, framing, and atmosphere. My goal is always the same—to create visuals that feel authentic, cinematic, and engaging, whether they’re born through a lens or an algorithm.
I’ve worked as a Director of Photography, Camera Operator, Editor, and Technical Advisor, gaining both technical expertise and the ability to adapt creatively. In 2024, I integrated AI into my process, opening up new ways to bridge tradition and innovation. My Swiss upbringing has made me disciplined and reliable, while my Californian experience brings collaboration and a fresh perspective to every project.
