It is genuinely difficult to choose between lighting and compositing, because I enjoy both equally.

That’s why I often look for roles where I can engage in both disciplines. Some days, compositing feels more creatively rewarding, while on others, lighting captures my full attention. It really depends on the project, the mood, and the story being told.

Each discipline presents its own unique challenges and moments of satisfaction, and I find that working in both keeps me inspired and balanced. For me, it is not about picking one over the other—it is about embracing the full creative process.

Lighting and compositing go hand in hand. Neither stands above the other.

Lighting lays the foundation that compositing builds upon, and compositing must respect and support what lighting provides. It is a delicate balance, like yin and yang, where both sides must perform at their best.

Ideally, I believe in pushing lighting to its fullest potential. However, in real world productions, that often comes with higher costs and tighter constraints.

In nature, you do not find one hundred lights or endless variables in a single scene. The power lies in using what you have with intention and restraint. If the same visual result can be achieved using three well placed lights or one grade instead of twenty, I will always lean toward the simpler and smarter choice. Less is more.

This approach ensures better performance, fewer artifacts, and greater creative control over each shot.

Defining my role in a team is simple.

I am the person who steps in wherever needed, gets the work done, and does it with a smile.

I believe that staying positive, even on tough days, keeps not just your own mind active, happy, and productive, but also lifts the spirit of those around you. A smile can go a long way in a collaborative environment.

I see the team as a whole, not just as individuals. If someone is struggling, something that could happen to any of us, I never hesitate to step in and offer support.

While I am gaining more and more artistic experience, I consider myself primarily a technical artist. I enjoy procedural workflows that make production faster, more flexible, and easier for everyone to understand and build upon.

Lastly, I tend to be quiet at first. I prefer to listen. But once I build trust and familiarity, I am always ready to share a good story with the team. And trust me, I have got a few.

Houdini and Nuke are my primary tools of choice, as they align perfectly with my workflow and creative goals. However, thanks to my diverse background, I am comfortable working with a wide range of software.
Within my specialized field, I am also familiar with Maya, and I have had some light exposure to Katana and Unreal Engine. While my experience with those two is basic, I am always eager to explore and adapt to new tools as needed.
My flexibility allows me to integrate seamlessly into different pipelines and collaborate effectively across departments

I have worked across a wide range of styles and project types, from cartoonish and stylized to realistic, artistic, and cinematic. This diversity has helped me grow as an artist, but if I had to choose, my favourite would undoubtedly be the cinematic style. That said, I genuinely enjoy all forms of visual storytelling.
When it comes to project type, I have experienced everything from commercials to short films, long-form content, and more. At this point, the specific format matters less to me than the result. As long as the final product looks great. And that responsibility lies in our hands! So yes, lets create an amazing project together!

At the moment, I am not open to relocating abroad. If the position is based in Dubai, I am absolutely open and flexible. However, opportunities outside Dubai would need to be remote.
My decision is based on personal and practical reasons. My family and loved ones are here, and I have established my home in Dubai. The safety, quality of life, and professional conditions the city offers are things I deeply value and are not easily found elsewhere.
If the opportunity is based within Dubai, I am happy to consider onsite, hybrid, or remote setups. If it is located internationally, remote work would be the only viable option for me at this time.
