Music Video // Outlandish : Let Off Some Steam

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:09:17 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of working as a DP (Director of Photography) on a music video for Outlandish with director Ridwan Adhami. The final product looks great!

I am usually so used to working on a video from start to finish and dealing with the pressures of pre-production > shooting > editing etc.. so it was nice to just walk on a set, do what I do, and let the rest of the team take it from there.

I am Muslim, I am American

Recently I had the pleasure of working with CAIR-NY while photographing a campaign called “I am Muslim, I am American” which would be on display in Time Sq, NYC.

We literally had no time for production. Everything was conceived and shot in 2 hours. The following are the photos I managed to get.

The photos are up in Time Sq now, 42nd bet 7th and 8th. below the CBS eye & above Cold Stone. I am probably going to head there today to get some footage and photos.
