About

Hi, I’m Michel Hanna Akawy, a photographer and videographer based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I freelance on events, portraits, food and product photography, and I also cover aerial photography and on-set camera work.

I love telling visual stories through light, composition, and collaboration with directors and cinematographers to bring ideas to life. I’m proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and Avid Media Composer, and I’ve worked with agencies, studios, and freelance clients around the region.
