Videographer and photographer from Frankfurt
for events and business

Hello, I'm Cornelius

Videographer and photographer. Mood catcher and collector of moments.

And a man who not only dances salsa, but also dances with the camera.

Because I prefer filming and photographing events.

I feel good wherever movement is combined with atmosphere.

For me, photography means capturing the magic of the moment

The desire to stop time and capture special moments with a camera was already there as a teenager. The incredible radiance of the Wall in West Berlin, deserted train stations, my new bike, the glint of the sun in the Wadden Sea.

Only 1/50 of a second, but captured for eternity. What a great feeling!

My enthusiasm for music, dance and movement led me to film. 1/50 became 25 pictures. Per second.

My penchant for light, music, shapes, colors, moods and movements still inspire me today in my work as a videographer and photographer.


The videographer is the photographer who brings movement and music to the picture

So my plan was to turn my hobby into a profession. The next step was to study at the Berlin University of the Arts. The degree in communication management was tailor-made for joining an advertising agency.

But instead of classic advertising, it became experiential communication for me, mainly in the B2B sector. My roles: The design and production of audiovisual content, for example World Cup balls and shoes for ADIDAS, tennis rackets for HEAD, feeding tubes for FRESENIUS-KABI, design visions for OPEL.

In 2002, I decided to become self-employed.

Since then, I have been sharing my knowledge and wealth of experience with large agencies and solopreneurs.
I like direct contact with decision-makers, a trusting relationship and an appreciative exchange.
