Fabian Rieke graduated from the European Film College in 2019 and is now graduating from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. He works as a freelance cinematographer and filmmaker mainly in Cologne, Berlin and has experiences shooting around the globe (Europe, Australia, Indonesia, United States, Canada).
His work has been shown at several festivals around the world.
I'm always seeking collaborations that challenge me to see differently and rethink the way I tell stories through visuals. My aim is to push beyond what I’ve already done—to keep evolving. I gravitate toward a natural use of light and a camera that captures emotion with honesty and intention. That said, every project has its own language, and I enjoy adapting to find the most authentic way to tell each story.
