ABOUT ME

I'm a cinematographer, video editor, and director with over 6 years of experience working across Bahrain and India. My work sits at the intersection of visuals, structure, and process, making sure ideas translate smoothly from set to screen.

Alongside shooting and editing, I've worked in technical roles including focus puller, DIT, and 1st Assistant Director, which has shaped how I approach production. These roles taught me precision, discipline, and how important preparation and communication are on set.

Because of this background, I'm comfortable managing both creative and technical sides of a project, from camera systems and data workflows to pacing, edits, and final delivery. I prefer keeping things simple, efficient, and well thought out, so the work speaks without noise.
