My Services
Since every production comes with different needs, here's what I offer:
Camera Operator
Camera work and framing following your concept, direction and shot list.
Director of Photography
Lighting and visual look for projects that need their own visual signature on the ground.
Local Crew
For bigger shoots, I bring in additional local crew from my network, such as a 1st AC or sound recordist, so your whole team doesn't need to travel.
Own Equipment
Camera, audio and lighting gear is available, so international productions don't need a carnet for equipment. We'll confirm details and compatibility with your setup in advance.

Countries
Before founding Vista-Werk, I spent more than ten years working as a camera operator and editor on productions in 28 countries, first internationally in the watersports industry and later in event and corporate film.
During that time I was a guest on many different sets, working with external production companies. That meant learning early on how to work professionally and efficiently with constantly changing teams. As a camera operator, I learned clear communication and developed a workflow that fits into existing processes.
That's the experience I bring today to production companies in Cologne, Düsseldorf or the surrounding area that need a reliable, local addition to their project.

What a local videographer saves you
No flights, no hotel
Flying in a full crew from abroad rarely pays off for a single shoot day. Within 100 km of Cologne no hotel is needed, and within Cologne there are no travel costs either.
Local knowledge on the ground
Locations, traffic, permits and regional contacts are already familiar.
Bilingual communication
On set, coordination happens in German or English, depending on what's needed on site.
Short-notice availability
No long lead time for flights or travel, so short-notice projects stay realistic.
No carnet needed
Productions from countries like the UK otherwise need a carnet to bring in their own equipment. Using local camera gear on the ground removes that extra step.

A glimpse into my world, from event video production through corporate film sets to the finished corporate film.

Project, shoot location and dates are enough for a first read, the rest gets worked out together afterwards.
