about
me
photo by Bruce St Clair
Being passionate about images created anywhere else but in the camera I became a Flame Artist by accident while applying for Arts studies at University. From there I immediately fell in love with changing pixels and connecting nodes.
As they say, “The rest is history.”
In more than ten years in the commercial industry I’ve mastered a variety of tasks, including international VFX set-supervision in Europe and the USA, being lead artist and production coordinator for jobs with literally hundreds of versions with a tight schedule, doing high-level vfx and cg-compositing, building up color managed workflows and ACES pipelines and training the next generation of Flame Artists.
When I’m forced to get away from pixels I like to photograph, research the best flavors in coffee beans or try to impress my girlfriend with new skills on the guitar.

what I do
Combining CG renders with live action to create the perfect illusion. Or just retouch that nasty camera reflection.
On set or in-house. I ensure that your clients needs are covered while staying in budget.
I make sure that everywhere the sky is the same blue and the cherry on the cake looks delicious.
Managing your team and tasks to reach deadlines efficiently and with minimum effort.
