ABOUT DANIEL LOHER

Awards & Nominatons_edited.png

I am a Munich-based Director of Photography with over twenty years of experience crafting visual stories for cinema, television, commercials, and documentaries.​​ 

My work is driven by a desire to create atmosphere and emotional depth through light, movement, and close collaboration across all departments.

​I enjoy shaping each project’s visual language together with its director and creative teams — always seeking images that support the story and the characters within it.​​​

​

​Before stepping fully into cinematography, I spent over sixteen years working as a Steadicam Operator, developing a deep understanding of camera movement and physical storytelling that continues to shape my work today.

​

Having lived in London and Los Angeles and worked internationally has broadened my perspective and contributed to a calm, adaptable way of working on set.

​

Alongside film, portrait photography remains an important part of my creative life and continues to sharpen my sensitivity to character and presence.

​

​I am a member of the German Society of Cinematographers (BVK) and the Steadicam Operators Association (SOA).
