Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Benedikt.

I shoot portraits that feel like films.

With a background in acting, directing, and over a decade behind the camera, I specialize in cinematic portraits that go beyond the surface.

 

Whether you’re a creative professional, performer, or simply want to be seen in your most powerful light — I’ll help you show up boldly.

 

These aren’t just photos. They’re storytelling.

 

Striking. Soulful. Editorial. Artfully lit.

 

The kind of portraits that stop you in your tracks — because they feel like you.

​

I shoot in LA and globally, bringing high-production polish with raw emotion and mood.

 

Let’s create something iconic together.
