Behind the lens — Die Frau mit dem weißen Hut

The challenge here was translating the director’s vision exactly. Black-and-white reduces an image to light and shadow, so the lighting had to be precise — and the actual location had to stay abstract in the background. The shoot also included a demanding handheld passage, panning between two actors on tight timing. Thanks to careful planning and an excellent crew, it all landed.

About

I’m drawn to the play between light and shadow, color and contrast — that’s where a story finds its weight.

Johannes Püller · Cinematographer based in Vienna

Working in indie productions out of Vienna since 2020 — three TV-Movie credits as colorist and a growing track record as DoP on shorts. I bring a cinematographer’s eye informed by hands-on post experience: every choice on set shows up later in color and cut.
