Hi, I’m Dominic, a cinematographer and colorist based in Germany, born in 1989 in Stuttgart.

Biography

My early fascination with the world of fine arts gradually developed into a passion for moving images and the creation of cinematic atmosphere through visual storytelling. This path eventually led me to a degree in Film and Media Arts at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, with a clear focus on working as a cinematographer.

Driven by curiosity and the desire to approach each project individually, I developed a strong interest in finding the right balance of light, color, composition, and camera movement for every project. My aim is to visually deepen both fictional and documentary narratives and to create a strong sense of emotional immersion.

To further refine this approach, I expanded my work beyond the camera into the field of color grading. The ability to consciously shape and intensify atmosphere in the final stage of post-production and to further refine visual decisions became an important part of my creative process. Alongside this, I attended masterclasses and courses with renowned colorists Darren Mostyn and David Cole to further develop my expertise in this area.

My Work

As a cinematographer and colorist, I work on visually ambitious productions with a focus on commercial projects, narrative film, and documentary. My work places particular emphasis on balancing authenticity with stylized visual worlds that evoke emotion and convey the story seamlessly, often in pursuit of the small “perfect imperfections,” aiming to unite style and realism in a single cohesive look.

My experience both behind the camera and in the color grading suite allows me, depending on the project’s requirements, to support productions throughout the entire visual process, from look development on set to final color grading. This results in a consistent visual language and close collaboration between directing, cinematography, and post-production.

Based in Stuttgart, I collaborate with production companies, agencies, and creative teams across Germany and internationally.
