Born in a small town in the middle eastern part of Germany skateboarding and Punk Rock were the two most important things in life for Holger when growing up. Documenting these early days of being a musician visually with a camera came naturally.
While studying media technology at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Holger more and more gravitaded towards camera work. After graduation he stepped into the film instustry as a 2nd assistant camera. Moving up the ranks quickly and leading to his first operating jobs. Shooting shortfilms between jobs with like minded collaborators nourished the growing hunger for creation.
In 2012 he enters the cinematography class of Munich University of Television and Film. Jobs as operator and 2nd Unit DP on numerous national and international movies payed the bills and food for his little family through out this time. Since 2015 he is focusing on his own cinematography in narrative and commercial projects without forgetting his passion for music videos and intimate documentaries.
His tireless passion and dedication earned him and his films awards and recognition around the globe. From Student Academy Award, Bafta nomination, Camerimage and IMAGO Award, Bavarian Film Arward as well as nominations for the German Cinematography and Michael-Ballhaus-Award.
