Lukas Max Allmaier
cinematographer
After starting out as an electrician and camera assistant, I graduated in cinematography from the Filmakademie Vienna in 2022.
My aim is to create spaces in front of the camera where performers feel safe enough to take risks and allow something truthful to emerge.
I move between documentary approaches and more constructed visual forms, depending on the needs of each project.
