About Milan

I’m a photographer and filmmaker focused on architecture, interiors and hospitality. With a background in fine art and a cinematic approach, I create photography and film that capture not only how a space looks, but also its character, atmosphere and identity.

My visual perspective was shaped through close collaboration with some of the most renowned photographers and industry figures – including Conrad Piepenburg, Simon Puschmann, Holger Wild, Emir Haveric, Alex Rank, Markus Wendler, Kai-Uwe Gundlach and Tom Mennemann.

During this time, I accompanied international productions around the world — from Oslo to Cape Town, from Los Angeles to Queenstown, and many places in between. These years gave me a deep understanding of light, composition, visual concepts and the technical precision behind high-end photography and film production.

Following this intense phase, I set out to further develop my own visual language and began working independently. Since then, I’ve realized projects in architecture, interiors, and hospitality – focusing on high-end photography and film productions. The results are visual concepts that don’t just document spaces, but bring out their unique character.

Whether working with architects, interior designers, hotels or selected brands, my aim is to create imagery that goes beyond documentation — photography and film that reveal the individual character of a place.
