Cinematographer
in Germany.

Film & television

Characters, atmosphere
and space.

I’m Micky Graeter, a cinematographer based in Munich. I’m drawn to the relationship between characters and the spaces they inhabit, across drama, comedy and my interests in horror, thriller and science fiction.

My narrative work includes Welf Reinhart’s feature film Der verlorene Mann / A Fading Man, selected for IFFR’s 2026 Tiger Competition, and the six-part ZDFneo series The Other gAIrl.

Commercial cinematography

Selected work
for brands.

Alongside film and television, I work as a Director of Photography on commercials and commissioned films. The portfolio includes FC Bayern × Topps, Lilium — Pegasus and ARRI — The Impressionists.

My cinematography for ARRI’s commissioned short uses ALEXA 35, Signature Primes and Impression V Filters, documented in ARRI’s project presentation. The commercial portfolio brings together films, credits and selected frames for directors, producers and agencies.

Horror & genre films

Tension and
atmosphere.

My horror credits include the short film The Maze, with cinematography by Micky Graeter, and Rapunzels Fluch 2. The filmography connects these credits to published references. A Morbidly Beautiful review discusses the cinematography and lighting of The Maze.
