I am a video maker and photographer based in Berlin. I arrived in Berlin in 2007 and have been working and living there since then as a visual artist, videographer and photographer. Photography and video are my primary mediums and remain important in my work, so when I started documenting my artistic performances, it seemed natural to me to offer my services to document the events and projects of others. I learned how to edit by watching new wave movies (Nouvelle Vague) and classics from the 50’s – 80’s. I approach video a bit like photography in the sense that I give value to composition and framing. Editing is for me a bit like a construction game, where I have to find the right rhythm, the right transitions, in order to create a film that shares in a fluid and lively way, an experience, an idea with the audience.
I like to immerse myself in different universes for a few hours with the challenge of capturing the best moments. (Elma Riza, 2020)
