About

Hi, my name is Nils. I'm originally from Germany, but in 2005 I left Berlin to start a new life in South Korea. While I'm a cinematographer by trade, I see myself as a multidisciplinary creative who works not only as a DoP, but also as a filmmaker, director, photographer and editor. With over 12 years of industry experience, I partner with brands, agencies and production companies worldwide, working primarily in branded content, creative advertising, documentary and the arts. I'm interested in uplifting content and powerful messages that take brands further and genuinely move people - all with a dash of subtle humor. I put a lot of love into the look and feel of each project and I think you will get to know me even more through what you see. Enjoy the rest of your stay!
