When film starts listening
giving music another way to touch people
Music has the ability to move us long after a song has ended.
It carries memory, emotion, and meaning – often without words.
Film can do the same.
When approached with care, it can extend what music already holds.
Film as a second instrument
Over the past few years, l’ve worked across album imagery, music videos, Spotify Canvas, and release campaigns.
Most artists don’t come with a concept. Mostly they come with a song they care about and usually that’s the best starting point.
From there, we find the visual language the music is asking for.
It’s all for you my love
At its core, my work is about devotion to something greater.
When I’m close to the music, to its rhythm and its mood, the right images usually show up on their own.
That’s when it stops feeling like “production” and starts feeling like something that has the potential to touch people and to be a ripple in this world.
”Without music, life would be a mistake.

The shoot with Benjamin was a truly magical day – full of lightness, laughter, and energy.
Thanks to his intuitive and empathetic way of working, I was able to let go of blockages, open up completely, and experience the moment in front of the camera with joy and freedom.
His expertise, sensitivity, and instinct for the perfect scene make him an exceptional photographer – I wholeheartedly recommend working with him.

Benjamin is incredibly supportive and always brings out the very best in you. What starts as a vague idea turns into a true work of art in his hands. He clearly knows exactly what he’s doing and has a rare talent for making both experienced models and camera-shy people shine. It’s always an absolute pleasure working with him.

Benja is super creative, and it’s been so amazing to work with him.
I love how he dives into his projects so much, and he really wants to take the best out of it.
He is super supportive, joyful and present, where he guides you to find out what is needed in the project.
Thank you Benja for your beautiful work!

The kind of beauty I care about
Over the years, working with well-known artists taught me something I didn’t expect: the ones who truly move people rarely had an easy path. Almost every single one had to leave something behind. Some lived through illness, some through truly messy family dynamics, some through a kind of inner exile that doesn’t show on Instagram.
Art wasn’t a hobby for them; it was the way through. Almost never with the goal of becoming “a famous musician” — well, sometimes a little bit. 😉
And sure: not every song needs to be activism. But I’m drawn to music that still means something once it leaves the studio.
As someone who loves to provoke, I’m drawn to art that doesn’t just entertain, but reaches the places in us that we usually avoid.
Sometimes it’s gentle. Sometimes it’s brutal. And sometimes it makes you cry without knowing why — and afterwards, you somehow feel a little lighter.
That’s also where visuals matter to me. The images should amplify it and extend it, so the song can become a ripple in this world.
Artist portraits
Alongside film work, I create album imagery and artist portraits —
often developed in parallel with the music and visual world of a release.
Wrong page. Right direction.
If you came here looking for an event film, a tour piece, or an aftermovie: you’re not lost, you’re just one click early.
Go to Live & Events for concerts, festivals, retreats, and anything that only happens once.
If what you actually need is a promo film — the “this is who I am and what I do” kind of piece — head to Brand & Promo.
On the Journey with
Everything you need to know
Do you work with smaller or emerging artists?
Yes.
What matters to me is not size or visibility, but intention and commitment.
Some collaborations start small and grow over time.
Is this more about visuals or about the music?
The music always comes first.
Visuals are a way of extending what’s already present.
Do I need a clear concept before reaching out?
No.
From my experience the projects where I’m involved right from the beginning tend to work the best.
We usually clarify this in conversation.
Do you only do music videos?
No.
I also work on album imagery, artist portraits, live documentation,
and longer-form projects connected to releases or tours.
Everything that’s happening live you’ll find under the page Live & Events
Do you work internationally?
Yes.
Most projects I work on happen across different countries and contexts.
Over the years, this has included work in Europe, Latin America, and North Africa —
often following artists, music, or situations rather than a fixed base.
How do collaborations usually start?
With a conversation.
If there’s resonance, we explore what the project needs and take it from there.
If this resonates
If you’re carrying a song, an album, or a project
that feels important to you,
feel free to reach out and share it.
A short conversation is often enough
to see whether something wants to take shape.
