My name is Ramón Königshausen and I am a Zurich based Cinematographer with Swiss and German citizenship. My interest in moving images began during highschool where I co-directed my first documentary «Zero Scale» (ot: «Spur Null») which premiered at the 39th Molodist Film Festival 2009 in Kyiv. After pursuing a short but successful career as a slalom and downhill skateboarder until 2011, I attended the Bachelors programme in film at Zurich University of the Arts and graduated my Masters degree in cinematography in 2018. Since 2020 I am part of Sabotage Kollektiv.

Notable projects include Millimeterle (First Steps Award 2015), Les Heures-Encre (Swiss Film Award 2019, Camerimage 2017), Cru (Camerimage 2019, Winner Tribeca Student Visionary Award 2020), my feature film debut Füür Brännt (Rotterdam Bright Future 2023) and I Love You, I Leave You (Winner Best Documentary and Audience Award ZFF 2025)

My main focus is on narrative storytelling, both fictional and documentary. Joining a director’s vision and seeking for the style that serves the story and evokes empathy with its characters is my favorite part in filmmaking. I feel comfortable shooting with a spontaneous, intimate and intuitive style but I also love crafting strict, elaborate concepts that require a lot of research and inspiration.

When I’m not out shooting I’m either working in a dark room (as a Colorist) or enjoying my free time collecting mushrooms, cooking, mountainbiking or discussing film projects with potential collaborators and friends.
