Telling stories is my passion – as a film director and as a photographer.

Stories are, after all, part of the essence of human life since the beginning of our history.

They are the glue that holds societies together, the mould that shapes or the hammer that shatters.

They give identity, motivation and meaning. They can explain, and they can change things.

Finding stories that inspire and „translating“ them into pictures and sounds is a challenge I love and enjoy every day.

Antarctica

Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority.

Robert Falcon Scott
