Welcome to Through the Poetic Lens.

I’m Christopher — photographer, storyteller, and father of twins from Germany.
This channel is my quiet space in a fast world, where photography meets narrative and where cameras and lenses become tools for presence rather than spectacle.

Here you’ll find cinematic camera impressions, real-world experiences, explorations of color and light, and reflections on creative practice.
I don’t chase trends or hype — I share what genuinely works for me, with honesty and calm intention.

To reach a wider audience, I’m re-recording my original German videos in English. No AI, no shortcuts — a little imperfect, but real.

If you enjoy slow, thoughtful visual storytelling, you’re in the right place.

Alongside the channel, I’ve created Dustlight Archive — my visual universe of color, prints, and atmosphere. Its influence shapes my tones, my lighting, and the way I approach both photography and film.

Thanks for being here.
— Christopher
