About

I’m a seasoned cameraman and crane operator with over 18 years in broadcast television, delivering dynamic footage across news, sports, and entertainment. I excel in multi-camera setups—from shoulder rigs to Super Slow Motion—and bring expertise with Jimmy Jib, Egripment, Scorpio 23, Technocrane 22, and robotic cameras to every shoot. I thrive in fast-paced environments, ensuring smooth operation, precise framing, and reliable ENG deployment for premium content.

I’m based in Doha and have collaborated with major networks across Qatar and internationally, handling on-site production, studio work, live broadcasts, and DTL segments. My approach combines technical proficiency with creative problem-solving, strong lighting, on-set communication, and seamless use of live transmitters like TVU and AVIWEST to deliver timely programming and compelling visuals.
