Matthias Lebeer is an Oscar-shortlisted director, based in London. Over the past 15 years he has achieved acclaim for his advertising work for global brands including Dolce & Gabbana, Land Rover and Samsung. His talent in composing images with exacting precision has led to a raft of awards, including two Gold Cannes Lions.

Matthias’s unique camera style combines fast cuts with the juxtaposition of bird’s-eye view and macro shots. His love for using special effects in front of the lens results in a mesmerising blend of texture and pace.

In recent years his focus has been on delivering compelling human stories to create film-based campaigns for Nikon and the Paris Summer Olympics 2024.

It’s this love of storytelling that makes Matthias stand out. He has an eye for the human story and, together with brands, teases this out to put it front and centre.

Whether it’s how people interact with their environment (HSBC), how they overcome challenges (Sanofi), or how they channel their inner selves while exploring their playground (Nikon), Matthias’s visually compelling films resonate deeply.
