Creative videographer and photographer with expertise in digital content.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate videographer and photographer based in Dubai, UAE, with extensive experience in planning, directing, and editing various projects, including events and social media content. My journey in the creative industry has allowed me to work with renowned brands and develop a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every project I undertake resonates with its intended audience.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed equipment, color graded footage, and utilized AI tools to enhance my creative output. My role at Livingroom Communications has been particularly rewarding, where I spearheaded the introduction of GenAI for our project with the Dubai Expo AI Film Fest. I thrive in collaborative environments, brainstorming innovative concepts and adapting materials for various platforms, including Instagram and TikTok.
With a Bachelor's degree in Media Studies and a strong background in marketing and production, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality content that not only meets but exceeds client expectations. I am always eager to learn and grow, looking for opportunities that challenge my creativity and expand my skill set.
