In 2012 Markus graduated as Photo Designer at University Deutsche Pop. After graduation, he traveled to Greece and visited an old friend from pilgrimage days. Alexios Alamatidis is a professional photographer based in Thessaloniki. Back in 2009, when they were walking together on the Way of St- James, Alexios offered Markus an internship in his studio “Dytikos Photography”, if he should ever really become a photographer.Markus stayed for three months in Greece and learned a lot about portraiture, lightning and event photography.
2013 he got hired to work as a photographer on a cruise vessel. That job was a great opportunity to get some more routine in various disciplines of photography. He had to do a lot of portraiture as well inside a studio as outdoor. Besides he had to plan and realize a lot of wedding and honeymoon shootings. He even did a lot of landscape and street photography for postcard production.
2014 that contract ended and Markus started working as a freelance photographer in Cologne. Besides movies music was always a very important part of his life. With a strong background in Cologne’s hip hop culture he specialized in music photography and also worked as videographer for different artists. Event organizer booked him for big festivals in Germany and Belgium. Among others he worked on Summerjam, Splash, Nature One, Out4Fame and Reggaebus.
