Cinematic craft,
commercial thinking.
I am a photographer and filmmaker based in Malé. I have worked behind the camera since 2019, across newsroom video journalism, music videos, resort campaigns and national exhibitions.
I started as a junior content creator at Lights Out Productions and was promoted into leading creative direction, photography and film.
I also lead the commercial function of SEED by BCC, the country’s co-working space and SME hub, where I am responsible for revenue, partnerships and marketing. That work shapes how I shoot. I plan around the audience and the outcome before I plan the shot list.
Some of what I shoot commercially belongs to the client and stays with them. Everything on this site I am free to show.
