Profile & Vision
I am Henri Graute, a freelance cinematographer with a focus on short films, sports productions, and ENG / documentary work. My approach combines technical precision with a strong visual sensitivity for atmosphere, rhythm, and narrative detail. I aim not just to capture images, but to tell stories through visual language.
Experience & Expertise
Through regular assignments for Die Ligen GmbH, the WDR, and independent film productions, I have built extensive experience in both live-camera environments and narrative filmmaking. I work confidently with a wide range of modern camera and lighting systems, from broadcast camcorders and Sony FX6/FX3 setups to ARRI-based productions.
I am also a co-founder of the independent film production company NEWAVE Films. I am available nationwide, own professional equipment, hold a valid driver’s license, and am a certified drone operator.
