Hi, I’m Jan.
Born in Germany, grabbed my first camera at 16, and entered the creative industry at 19 years old during my studies of economics. I started with my first photo and video jobs for professional clients, and later traveled the world for German television (WDR). Produced cinematic documentaries for TV for several years while developing my own corporate media business. I then moved south to Munich to enter the international marketing industry at outdoor camera pioneer GoPro. In Bavaria I combined my love for the mountains with my passion for creating, refining my style to combine the outdoors with modern storytelling. Now, after more than ten years of experience, I am more passionate than ever about creating lasting memories and impactful content for companies and individuals with a strong message. I look forward to getting in touch with you!
