I'm a London- and Cairo-based camera trainee, photographer, and videographer with a BA (Hons) in Film Making. I’ve built hands-on experience across short films, events, music, and branded content, and I’m drawn to the camera department where I enjoy working with professional cinema equipment, solving on-set challenges, and supporting productions in fast-paced environments. Beyond my technical skills, I bring a strong visual sensibility shaped by extensive photography and BTS work across narrative, music, and live events. Having worked both inside and outside the media industry, I’ve developed strong communication, organization, and teamwork, as well as the resilience needed for demanding productions. I’m highly motivated to continue learning, contribute positively to creative teams, and build a long-term career in film and television production.
