This short film is a personal journey into the past and, at the same time, a look at the present. The central question is: What if the boys from back then—us as children—could see us today?
It's about the good old days—those moments that we didn't perceive as special at the time. Birthdays, winter evenings, late summer afternoons after school. Moments that, in retrospect, carry a lightness that we often seek later in life.
The film combines these memories with impressions from a joint trip to Japan. It's not about sights or perfect pictures, but about the small, quiet scenes: early mornings in a foreign city, unexpected encounters and the feeling of standing in the present and looking back at the same time.
At its core, the film tells the story of two brothers—and the unique bond that only siblings share. A bond that is not always spoken, does not need to be explained, and yet remains like an invisible connection from the first day.
The film was shot with lightweight equipment—minimalist, flexible, without a large team or complex technology as is typical for big productions.
The visual style thrives on the alternation between static, calm shots and dynamic elements such as fast transitions, time-lapse, and slow motion. These contrasts reflect the nature of memories: sometimes clear and tangible, sometimes fragmentary and fleeting.
Childhood photographs complement the film and open up a second dimension – less documentary, more emotional. The result is a film that not only shows the experience, but also the feelings associated with it. The project makes it clear that you don't need big gear to create powerful films. What matters is the story – and the courage to tell it personally and honestly.
It’s not just a story, it’s my story.
“In the end, what counts is that one moment when everything comes together: light, mood, composition, for a story that lasts.”
For over a decade, photography and film have been my tools for understanding the world. What began as a hobby with my first camera has now become my language — my way of telling stories that reveal more than just the surface.
My focus is on genuine moments. Stories, details, moods that cannot be planned and yet define the whole. Whether with people, in the automotive world, or while traveling, the key is to make my vision visible and take my viewers on an emotional and exiting journey.
Purity and reduction characterize my work. Composition, light, and lens choice are more important to me than strong effects or trends. My images should be enduring – timeless, direct, and honest. When people open up, they reveal sides of themselves that remain untouched and that is precisely where images with depth are created. Especially in portrait photography, this creates a closeness that requires trust.
Curiosity keeps my work alive. New cultures, different perspectives, unfamiliar surroundings – I am always on the lookout for new experiences so that every project is an adventure that challenges me.
Over the past few years, I have had the privilege traveling the world and working with a wide range of international clients and leading companies such as Porsche, Brabus, and Dr. Ausbüttel, collaborating closely with them to deliver exceptional projects.
