BIOGRAPHY

Award-winning Architectural Visualizer & Photographer

I’ve always been a tinkerer at heart. In the early ’90s, while commercial architects and were still sketching towers and lobbies with watercolors and pencils, using a meticulous process that took weeks, I was immersed in Silicon Graphics workstations. These sophisticated, but very expensive machines were a revolution in computer-generated imagery. They opened the door to a new visual language that transformed how architecture could be presented and imagined.

I was among the very first artists in the Middle East to use SGI systems in the field of architecture. What took days to paint by hand, I could model and render in hours, with realism that invited you to step inside and flexibility that let clients explore endless variations. It wasn’t just faster. It was cinematic, immersive, and radically more expressive.

That’s where I fell in love with the alchemy of blending 3D CGI with real-world photography. Over time, this approach became a cornerstone of architectural visualization across the region, replacing static sketches with dynamic storytelling.

Over three decades, I’ve turned pixels into passion projects. Honors like Autodesk “Master” and the Tektronix International Design Visualization Competition are part of the journey, but it’s the chase that drives me. The thrill of crafting a render so real you’d swear you could walk into it, or capturing a photograph that holds time still just long enough to whisper a story.

Master of Light, Motion, and Silent Stories

I work across three connected disciplines: creating immersive 3D CGI for architects and designers, producing cinematic time-lapse films that highlight the energy of cityscapes and structures, and capturing the character of spaces through architectural photography. These are not separate practices; they are different expressions of the same visual language.

Whether I am using a camera to document a moment, adjusting virtual lighting in a CGI scene, or assembling time-lapse sequences to reflect urban rhythm, the goal is the same. A pen, a stylus, a render engine; each is a tool to express what I see and imagine. What ties them together is the search for essence: the idea that draws attention, the emotion that stays with the viewer, the quiet story embedded in a building’s design or a city’s nighttime atmosphere.

My approach combines technical precision, shaped by early CGI work in the 1990s, with a strong focus on light, movement, and composition. What defines my work is the ability to build visual narratives without words; images where architecture responds to light, materials shift with time, and landmarks reflect the pace of the world around them.

CENTRE STAGE

Sharing the Craft

A meaningful part of this journey has been sharing knowledge with others. Whether leading seminars for Fujifilm, writing detailed gear reviews, or mentoring emerging photographers, I focus on making the craft more accessible and practical. Photography and visual storytelling evolve through collaboration, and I bring decades of experience shaped by field-tested insight and continuous learning.

Still Curious, Still Creating

I approach every project with the same focus I had as a child sketching ideas in a notebook, now supported by advanced tools and decades of experience. My work spans cinematic visual environments, architectural photography, and time-lapse filmmaking. Each discipline serves a shared purpose: to translate vision into immersive experience.

Whether I am capturing a moment with a camera, shaping light in a CGI scene, or assembling time-lapse sequences to reflect urban rhythm, the goal remains consistent. Every tool, physical or digital, is used to express what I see and imagine. The process is driven by clarity, atmosphere, and emotional impact.

What defines my work is the ability to build visual narratives without words, images that reflect the pace, mood, and identity of the spaces we inhabit.
