About Me
I’m a documentary photographer and drone cinematographer based in Dubai, working across six continents to capture what’s changing, disappearing, and worth preserving — from the tribal ceremonies of Ethiopia’s Omo Valley to the glaciers of eastern Greenland, from the Great Migration in the Serengeti to the quiet corners of Vietnam.
My work focuses on the intersection of culture, environment, and geography. I shoot primarily with DJI Mavic and Canon R5 and am a contributor to Shutterstock, with footage licensed for editorial and commercial use worldwide.
Alongside my creative practice, I’ve spent over two decades in investment banking and strategic advisory across emerging markets — from Merrill Lynch and Citigroup to the boardrooms of the Gulf. Today I serve as Managing Director of KCP Capital, an advisory firm focused on cross-border M&A and strategic partnerships in the MENA region and beyond.
How It Started
I wanted to be a pilot. Life had other plans — circumstances grounded that pursuit before I ever got my license. For years the sky was something I looked at, not something I moved through.
Then, about a decade ago, I found a DJI Phantom Vision+ on a shelf in a Dubai electronics store. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the moment everything changed. The drone became my way of flying — not in a cockpit, but through a lens.
What started as curiosity became obsession. I’ve since flown over 70 cities across the globe, each one adding a chapter to a journey that eventually became a book. Every flight is part adrenaline, part meditation, part discovery. The backpack goes everywhere. The drone is always ready.
None of it would have happened without my family, who have never once told me an idea was too ambitious or a destination too remote. Every frame I capture is dedicated to them.
