"Camera lenses are my eyes to the world, they transform my visions into images for still, motion, digital content or print media for more than 30 years.

They have seen what I have seen - and they have seen a lot more than that.

They are reliable companions, they are so much more than just  tools - they bring out the magic and the beauty.

And they are beauties themselves - quietly and elegantly working without attracting attention.

It’s time they got some appreciation."

Thanks to his interest in people, Christoph Siegert can connect with you very quickly. This gift helps him immensely with the implementation of his projects in the field of film and photo, which he has recently been able to realise through stories that are told in beautiful atmospheric images.

Christoph produced an image film for the advertising agency, 2do Marketing Services. In Christoph's characteristically atmospheric and warm tones, he humorously stages the different facets of how advertising agencies work. A nice challenge in this case was his directorial work with only children as actors, which he mastered with flying colours! But you should see for yourself.

Christoph photographed and directed for the hearing aid manufacturer Optimus Schmelzer. With “storytelling at its best”, the “Excellent Day” commercial shows that small and inconspicuous hearing aids can do much more than just make sounds louder. Christoph proves here with sensitive instructions that even silent punch lines can carry a film.
