"As great as the latest technology can get, it’s nothing without a thorough understanding of how to amplify a story in a way that moves an audience".  - Dominic Locher

CINEMATIC STORYTELLER IN BRANDED CONTENT + FASHION EDITORIAL

Dominic's core focus is fusing an artistic aesthetic with cutting-edge technology, across all platforms. His belief is that, as great as the latest technology can ever get, it’s nothing without a thorough understanding of how to amplify a story in a way that moves an audience. 

Nurturing an appetite for artistic expression from a young age through a creative education at a Rudolf Steiner School he found his passion for photography and film.
