MARC STAUCH
I'm a cinematographer with a focus on lighting and color grading.
With a background in design, I carefully consider every aspect of an image. I like to develop distinctive looks that serve the story, and I'm not afraid to experiment with in-camera effects. I'm drawn to arthouse and independent cinema, between fiction and documentary.
