01
Film and moving image
Films made with AI from end to end - concept, shot list, generated coverage, edit, grade and sound. Directed like a shoot, so character, light and continuity hold across every shot instead of drifting clip to clip.

A cinematographer who creates and builds with AI — moving between camera, code and image to make things that didn’t exist before.
Selected Work
Made with AI, start to finish.
A selection of original generative images — one part of a wider practice spanning AI film, products and tools.

The Long Return
“The desert keeps every journey and returns none of them unchanged.”
Capabilities
What I can do with AI.
Two halves of one craft - I build the AI systems, then direct the work that comes out of them. A single frame, a finished film, or the product behind it.
02
Stills and campaign imagery
Original hero frames generated at native 4K - never upscaled to fake resolution. The look is locked across the whole set, so twenty images read as one shoot rather than twenty prompts.
03
Finishing, VFX and relighting
Matting and roto, background replacement, relighting, clean-up and compositing. AI where it is genuinely faster, finished by hand wherever the eye lands - footage the audience never reads as generated.
04
AI products, built and shipped
Web and native apps with generation, accounts, billing and storage built in - carried from idea to something people actually use, live on the App Store and on the web, not a prototype that stops at the demo.
05
Agents and production automation
Systems that do the work rather than demonstrate it: agents that plan a job, run the pipeline, notice what broke and report back - wired into the tools a team already works in.
06
Private models and pipelines
A house style trained on your own material and run on your own hardware. The look stays yours, the material never leaves the building, and the cost per image stops being a subscription.

Direct a Frame
Direct a shot through my lens.
Name a feeling, a place, a moment. It’s composed live in my visual language — the aesthetic stays mine, the direction is yours.

Approach
“I want the technology to disappear — so what’s left is the idea, and how it makes you feel.”
I work across two sides that usually stay apart: I build the AI — the products, pipelines and tools — and I use it to make the work, from a single image to a full film. Living on both sides is the point; each one keeps sharpening the other.
The practice is rooted in the United Arab Emirates — its light, its pace, its ambition — and in one belief: AI is a new material, not a shortcut. The craft is in the taste and the restraint, not the button.
Whether it is a product used by thousands or a single frame, the aim is the same: make something that feels considered, human, and genuinely new.
