‘ … story that should be told’
Born in Jena, Marcus moved to Berlin in his late-teens, first gaining experience working on professional sets as an assistant in the camera-, grip- and lighting departments. Achieving a placement as a trainee at the equipment rental service ‚FGV-Schmidle‘, he continued to specialise his skills in lighting. This has helped strengthen his abilities working as DoP on his own projects ever since. He is currently studying at the Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and is graduating as a Master of Cinematography.
Marcus is passionate about working as a team to capture ‚real‘ moments in front of the lens – whether on a big commercial set or a small documentary in the Tibetan hills. He aims to create immersive images, from a variety of perspectives, while always making sure they are in service of the story that should be told.
