Fellow directors, TV authors, producers, marine biologists and clients share their experience.
Manfred is one of those people you meet again after years and it feels like no time has passed, because working with him makes sense and gives meaning to what you do.
He gets the job done even in the most complex conditions. He's not afraid to put himself on the line or to ask the right questions to improve the work.
Naturally likeable, humble and always available, he is a solid and positive presence, in and out of the water. His calm, combined with endurance and reliability, makes him a professional you can always count on.
Manfred descends into the deep as others enter a cathedral: in silence, with respect, letting the light dance and tell its story. His camera does not merely film the sea — it listens to it. And when he is not underwater, he chases distant horizons with the same hunger for beauty.
Some travellers seek places; he seeks moments, and transforms them into magnificent images.
«I worked with Manfred on the Pianeta Mare production for Rete4, of which I was director. I believe he is an excellent Underwater Operator, endowed with great initiative and a marked ability to solve problems. I also find his expertise in the video field in general, and editing in particular, to be decisive.»
«Services and environment were aptly synthesised so clients could understand the philosophy of our hospitality. With the videos we increased contacts by 40%, knowing we were presenting the real thing!!»
«With excellent care for images and an inclination towards achieving the best result, he possesses a very rare video sensibility capable of adding value to his work and to the projects he takes part in.»
«I worked with Manfred on the Pianeta Mare production for Rete4, of which I am author and director. He shoots fluid underwater footage, with good backlighting and macro so extreme it feels like entering the very body of the organisms captured… a beautiful journey into the underwater world.»
«Creativity and empathy with the wild animals are the two words better describing the work of Manfred: attention to what the animals are doing, attention during the approach, and a little bit of imagination are the keys to success when filming animals.»
«We worked together on the Isola dei Famosi edition. Manfred's shots made the Caribbean even more fascinating. Excellent underwater operator. And he's friendly too!»
Manfred is much more than a videomaker who goes underwater, travels the world like an explorer and climbs mountain peaks. He is a true travel companion.
«In the social sector, videos and photos are often improvised: having a professional follow us allowed us to show our professionalism with professionalism. Not a cost, but a useful service to present ourselves.»
