Nikita Saxena

Having worked with numerous major brands, I am a photographer, videographer, and associate creative director who thrives on nuance, attention to detail, and challenging myself with every new project. I take great pride in delivering high-quality work consistently — balancing creativity with efficiency and precision. I am passionate about pop culture, storytelling, and staying ahead of emerging trends, which I believe helps me bring a fresh, relevant perspective to every visual I create.

I am currently based in the UAE and available to join with a month’s notice or less. At present, I work with Palms Sports, the largest sports organization in the Middle East, producing media for its subsidiaries such as Khabib Gym, the MoE Jiu-Jitsu League, and UAE Warriors, the region’s biggest homegrown MMA franchise.

Previously, I served as Associate Creative Director at BCV Social, RateGain (Dubai), where I oversaw videography, photography, and graphic design for clients including The Chedi Muscat, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Oberoi Hotels, Trident Hotels, Jumeirah Hotels, etc.

Alongside my full-time work, I have also taken on freelance projects, including promotional videos for Berklee School of Music Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum, and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi.

My professional journey spans creating video content across social platforms — Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn — for organizations such as WeAreYuvaa, Film Companion, and Coke Studio Bharat. I’ve directed and edited branded content for Coke Studio, IBM, Mercedes, Instagram, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Tinder, Meta, and many more.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 100 international and Indian artists and public figures, including Christian Bale, Andy Serkis, Freida Pinto, Lilly Singh, Ranveer Singh, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. I have also been Director of Photography and Editor for two award-winning documentaries — one of which screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2020, an Academy Award-qualifying festival.

I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition), Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, and Sony Vegas Pro. I am equally skilled in handling lighting, lenses, and DSLR camera systems. My experience also extends to producing, scriptwriting, and creating moodboards, making me adaptable across creative and production roles.

As a woman behind the camera, I strive to bring a fresh, empathetic, and authentic perspective to storytelling in industries that are often shaped by a limited lens. Above all, I am a hard worker, an efficient collaborator, and a passionate visual storyteller who is always eager to learn and push creative boundaries.
