Born on 03.10.66 in Heidelberg, Germany. After finishing high school as best of school in 1985, Dietrich went on to study German literature, History and Philosophy at Rupert-Karls-Universität in Heidelberg as well as Theatre, Communications and Philosophy at the LMU in München. In 1989 he started to study film and camera at the Munich film school Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München in the feature film department under Prof.Längsfeld.

After completing several highly acclaimed short and feature films during his film school years and attending numerous international workshops with academy-award-winning D.O.P's, Dietrich started to work professionally in 1997 as a freelance Film Director for television commercials & image films for global companies (Siemens, Sony, LG, VW, Subaru, Ford, NSN, Warsteiner, Areva, Metro, Hilti etc.) as well as a Director of Photography for commercials & documentaries.

His award-winning films have led Dietrich all over the world, enabling him to truly gain international experience as well as a deep insight into different cultures, their values and creative concepts as well as expectations. Highlights of his career, to name a few, have been so far a highly complex ultra-wide double projection project done for Siemens Italy, the multi-award-winning "Secret in a Box" for HILTI corporation as well as, as a D.O.P., the documentary "The Ritchie Boys" which was shortlisted for the Oscar for best documentary 2004.

In 1999 Dietrich married the  D.O.P.  Britta Sell bvk - now Britta Mangold bvk. Dietrich lives with his wife and daughter Zola in Munich, Germany and on the Spanish island of Mallorca. He is represented by the Munich-based agency 1st Unit / Elke Apelt - München.
