"Hi there. So you’ve made it this far and want to know a little about me. You’re probably expecting some really well thought out tagline about how I can bring your vision to life at a reasonable budget, right? Well, that doesn’t do much, so let me tell you my story.
I live in the United Arab Emirates, born and raised here actually. The first thing everyone asks is usually where I’m from and I never answer that on our first date. I might tell you over a cup of coffee later though. I’m a Chemical Engineer by education, started my career working in the oil industry and slowly discovered my love for photography.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with the finest establishments in the entertainment industry, talented local artists and international legends passing through the UAE, and some of the coolest fashion brands out here. I hate to name drop in conversation so there’s a client list on my home page. My journey got recognised by Fujifilm Middle East and I am honored to call myself an Official Fuji-X-Photographer.
That’s me in a nutshell. I do urge you to get in touch with me regardless of how big or small your project is or even if you’ve just got an idea that you want to kick around. I’d love to talk."
