Okay here’s the big word version…
I work alongside brands and organizations to help communicate their value proposition to the customer bases and communities they serve. I do so by creating captivating windows into their process, cultures, and products.
My past clients span from large-scale manufacturing to local nonprofits. I've helped them develop and execute marketing campaigns to simply re-working corporate headshots.
I offer responsive pricing tailored to clients' specific needs and budgets. I work on my end to provide a product that best suits those I am working with, rather than my own projections. Clients often hire me for internal and external communications, as well as website content, social media, and print media.
Here’s the artsy one…I read somewhere that we all have two gifts. My two gifts are to see into and record a sincere world. Professionally this shows up by working as a Photographer and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. To me, they speak to the archetypes of a storyteller and storykeeper. Both provide me with an often, very intimate and honest way of communicating what it means to be alive.
“AT A CORE I WANT MY WORK TO PORTRAY HOW WILD, MESSY, SIMPLE AND PERFECT THIS LIFE CAN BE.”
It's really just about getting the chance to pick up my cameras. I am mostly Western-based however, I am happy to travel if your story isn't.
I was born in Saudi Arabia to a family always on the move. Growing up, our travels instilled in me a curiosity for the stories of the world. As a young kid, I remember being fascinated by my father’s cameras and never being allowed to touch them. Looking back probably a well-founded rule. At 14, I found my mentor in my high school photography teacher, igniting a flame that would define my life. Soon, I became known as the "kid with a camera always around his neck," embracing photography as my chosen path.
My journey led me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography, marking the beginning of a 20-year exploration of the human experience. Alongside my art, I also ventured into the realm of social work, weaving together the different sides of myself. In my work, I find purpose in amplifying the voices of non-profits, brands, and mission-driven organizations, capturing the sincerity and authenticity that define their work.
