I have been working in Qatar as a filmmaker for the past 5 years, where I began my career creating commercials for high-profile clients. Through my advertising work, I found a passion for cinematography which drove me to take the route of narrative-independent filmmaking. The human experience is a source of beauty and depth for me, and I use my camera to share it with the world. Most of my previous work includes short films, documentaries, and commercials.

In the past five years, I have partnered with more than 50 businesses and delivered 400 pieces of content, applying my expertise in various domains of media production, such as photography, videography, directing, producing, lighting, sound design, color adjustment, visual effects, and editing. My portfolio mainly consists of commercial work, however, I have also been exploring the narrative potential of moving images recently.

Unlike my previous work, which was mostly commercial, my recent projects have been more oriented towards a narrative and human approach to storytelling. I had the opportunity to collaborate with Oscar Nominated Filmmaker Rithy Panh on his latest fiction film in Cambodia, where we faced challenging conditions and worked with “Palme d’Or” winner Irène Jacob.
