A Berlin native, Paul’s work has been featured on Netflix, by the NYTimes and at Neue Nationalgalerie. Trained as an architect and photographer in New York, he went on to study cinematography at Filmakademie. Having lived across Europe, the United States and in Southern Africa, his work draws upon his multicultural sensitivities and varied perspectives. He speaks German, Danish and English as well as rudimentary French and works in a diverse range of contexts - recently in Lagos, Venice and Athens.
Collaborating with an eclectic mix of directors and visual artists, Paul marries fictional and documentary approaches and frequently takes on experimental projects. His process is driven by thorough research, a fundamental fascination for the people around him and a visual curiosity for the world at large. He loves lighting with a natural approach while not afraid of bold colors, always carrying the story at heart. Ultimately, Paul brings an aspirational approach to cinematography, believing that in the daily flood of images, the ones that stand out are the ones recorded with care.
