His first feature film was the German production Die Terroristen in 1992 .

In 1998 he was the cameraman for the first Dogma 95 film Das Fest , after which he shot two more films based on the Dogma criteria. He continued to work with the Dogma initiators Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier , for example he was the cameraman for the dance sequences in Dancer in the Dark .

A backpack system developed by the company Pille Filmgeräteverleih and Stefan Ciupek was used, which made it possible to film quickly and without major precautions in Mumbai's Dharavi slum area .
