THE PACE

MUSIC VIDEO TEASER

The song that this music video was designed around never saw the light of day. The artist decided to not release the music. Here’s a collection of shots that i am able to share that give away at least some of the magic of the finished piece.

OH, MILANO

My love letter to Milano. In 2016 I shot my first big project here. I remember entering the Galleria for the first time, thinking how it would feel to close my eyes and to spin until I'm dizzy. In 2021 I returned and shot another project here - this time with Veronica Fedolfi and managed to get that shot in the Galleria. This is a short director's cut of what we did. A short visual love letter to the city that's so dear to me.

LAND

Mercedes-Benz

A 10,000 KM road trip through what was once called "The Wild West". Our mission was to find and photograph the America that we always dreamed about as kids - or at least - what’s left of it. We crossed 9 states and camped out for 3 weeks in the process of trying to find the images that we wanted to capture. Here’s a little bit of how these 3 weeks felt like...

FACING FLAMES

ISRAEL PORTNOY

My friend (and brilliant musician) Israel Portnoy lost everything that he owned last summer when his entire house burned down in a wildfire in Israel - everything, except his favourite 1963 12-string guitar. Being the insanely positive guy that he is - he decided to turn this devastating event in his life into something positive. He recorded a concept album around the wildfire called "Facing Flames" - only using the guitar that he could save from the flames. The album will be published later this year. We met in the ashes of his belongings and recorded a couple of music videos for the record. This is the album teaser / a micro-documentary about what happened and how he deals with it.​​​​​​​

ULTIMATE SINATRA

UNIVERSAL MUSIC

Universal Music asked me to create a video about Frank Sinatra who would have had his 100th birthday on December 12, 2015 - to promote the Ultimate Sinatra CD Box. They gave me full creative freedom with only one request: I had to incorporate a set of beautiful, old photographs of Frank Sinatra and his Orchestra. So I decided to put some life back into these historic scenes, to create an Observer Experience and put the viewer right into these old photographs.
