A self-taught filmmaker turning cinematic craft into brand story — high-end commercial work built to feel as good as it looks.
Karsten WinegeartKarsten's path started with a single trip to Patagonia and a first camera — a self-taught obsession that grew into filmmaking, storytelling, and a decade of commercial craft. From producing to product photography to full commercial direction, he built a style defined by cinematic visuals and strategic storytelling.
He's directed commercial work for Under Armour, Project Rock, the Curry Brand, and the LA Clippers— a Clippers series earning three Telly Awards — alongside a photography practice that's crossed a billion views on Unsplash.
With NXT Creativ, Karsten co-directed Oakley's Land of the Blindcinematic launch with Ryan Noreen — pairing a photographer's eye with NXT's AI-native pipeline.
