I’m Timo.

I was born in Hamburg and have been working in the film industry for over 25 years. My journey began with training as a carpenter, followed by a career change in the early 2000s when I joined CineGate Hamburg as an intern.

From there, I explored every department — lighting, stage, and camera — and also worked as a stagehand and lighting technician. Eventually, I set my sights on the camera department. I started out as a clapper loader on productions shot on 16mm and 35mm film. After gaining valuable experience, I moved into focus pulling, becoming a sought-after 1st AC. Before long, I was also taking on projects as a camera operator.

I worked across all areas of celluloid production — from small music videos to high-end commercials, TV movies, and major feature films such as Valkyrie.

In 2008, I decided to deepen my craft and enrolled at the prestigious Hamburg Media School, earning my Master’s degree in Cinematography. Since 2010, I have been living my dream as a cinematographer and visual storyteller.

I truly love my Job.
