Hi, I’m Akram Safar. I wear many hats in front of and behind the camera, from acting in projects to crafting engaging visual content for brands. In 2014 I founded my own casting agency, and since then I’ve built a broad network across photography, videography, and creative direction. I love collaborating on film and content productions and continually expanding my knowledge through workshops and hands‑on projects.
I’m passionate about storytelling through visuals and I enjoy helping brands tell authentic stories. I’m always open to new collaboration opportunities, from casting and cinematography to content creation and post‑production, and I value friendly, collaborative teamwork that brings ideas to life.
