BIOGRAPHY

Award-winning Architectural Visualizer & Photographer

I’ve always been a tinkerer at heart. In the early ’90s, when most people were still marveling at Windows 3.1, I was elbow-deep in Silicon Graphics workstations—cutting-edge tech that felt like holding a lightsaber in a world of butter knives. That’s where I fell in love with the alchemy of blending 3D CGI with real-world photography, pioneering what’s now a cornerstone of architectural visualization in the Middle East. (Yes, I’ll humbly admit I was the region’s first to pull off that magic trick.)

Over three decades, I’ve turned pixels into passion projects, earning nods like Autodesk “Master” and winning the Tektronix International Design Visualization Competition. But trophies aside, what excites me is the chase—the thrill of making a render so real you’d swear you could walk into it, or a photograph that pauses time just long enough to tell a story.

Master of Light, Motion, and Silent Stories
I thrive at the intersection of three disciplines: crafting immersive 3D CGI for architects and designers (from hyperreal stills to fluid animations), producing cinematic time-lapse films that breathe life into cityscapes and structures, and capturing the soul of spaces through architectural photography. To me, these are interchangeable art forms—different dialects of the same visual language.

It matters little whether I’m wielding a physical camera to immortalize a fleeting moment, orchestrating virtual sunlight in a CGI scene, or stitching time-lapse sequences into a heartbeat of urban energy. A pen, a stylus, a render engine—all are tools to translate what I see and imagine. What unites them is the pursuit of essence: the idea that sparks curiosity, the emotion that lingers in a viewer’s chest, the unspoken story hidden in a building’s geometry or a city’s nocturnal pulse.

My toolkit? A mix of obsessive technical precision (thanks, early ’90s CGI grind) and an artist’s eye for light, movement, and composition. But my true signature? Crafting wordless narratives where skyscrapers inhale dawn light, ancient stone whispers through shifting shadows, and modern landmarks dance under the strobe of passing time. No dialogue needed—just the universal syntax of wonder.

Sharing the Craft
The best part of this journey? Paying it forward. Whether I’m leading a Fujifilm seminar, writing a raw-and-honest gear review, or mentoring emerging photographers, I thrive on demystifying the craft. After all, art grows when we share it—and I’ve got decades of hard-won lessons (and a few stubborn opinions on aperture) to pass along.

Still Curious, Still Creating
Today, I’m still that kid with a sketchbook—just with better tools and a few more gray hairs. My portfolio spans cinematic universes, fueled by a lifetime of devouring sci-fi sagas, dissecting John Williams and Zimmer scores, and marveling at the biomechanical daydreams of Syd Mead. (Fun fact: My first “render” was a pencil sketch of Blade Runner’s Los Angeles at age nine. Some obsessions stick.)

For me, art is a feedback loop—Stanley Kubrick’s symmetry whispers into my architectural compositions, Vangelis’ synthscapes color my time-lapse rhythms, and the unbuilt worlds of Jodorowsky’s Dune remind me that the boldest visions demand fearless tools. Whether I’m chasing the haunting minimalism of 2001 or the neon grit of Ghost in the Shell, my mission stays the same: to turn visions into visceral experiences, one pixel or photon at a time.

P.S. Yes, I’ve been known to pause a Kubrick film just to study a hallway’s symmetry. Old habits—and creative obsessions—die hard.
