Nico Drechsel is a Swiss-based Cinematographer.
In a young age Nico shoots numerous corporate videos for Swisscom where he did his apprenticeship as a mediamatician. Later during his apprenticeship he accompanies several brand campaigns, where he gets first insights in big film productions. At the Zürich University of Arts he discovered his fascination for cinematography. Nico gained experience in the camera and lighting department on countless short film shoots. Alongside his studies, he occasionally works as a lighting technician on featurefilms and commercials. After directing a shortfilm and shooting six shortfilms as a cinematographer Nico completes his Bachelor of Arts in Film in 2022 with a major in camera.
His camera work is based on his deep understanding of the characters, he finds the best possible way to visually express their feelings. Even though he always tries to find the most beautiful shots, for him the most important aspect of an entertaining Film is the story.
In the future Nico is looking forward to work on humorous and exciting feature films and commercials.
