I try to bring thought and intention to every project — from single-day commercial shoots to full-scale national campaigns.
Based in Phoenix, Arizona and available to travel nationally, I work across a wide range of production types. Below is a breakdown of what I do best and how I work.
Commercial Cinematography
I’ve shot broadcast and digital commercials for some of the country’s most recognized brands — the NFL, 3M, PF Chang’s, NOCO, and University of Phoenix among them. My approach is cinematic: precise lighting, intentional camera movement, and a strong command of the frame that elevates the final cut from functional to memorable. I work fluidly with agency creative teams, in-house marketing departments, and independent directors.
Documentary Cinematography
Documentary work demands a different skill set — one built on patience, adaptability, and the ability to capture truth as it happens. I’m comfortable in the field, in controlled environments, and in the in-between. I’ve shot documentary content across diverse subjects and locations, always bringing the same cinematic eye I bring to commercial work.
Branded Content & Corporate Video
Brand stories need to feel authentic without sacrificing polish. I specialize in the kind of branded content that doesn’t look like an ad — interview-driven narratives, behind-the-scenes series, product launches, and corporate sizzle reels that actually get watched. Available for single-day shoots or multi-day campaign production throughout Phoenix, Arizona, and beyond.
Aerial Cinematography
I’m FAA Part 107 certified and experienced in aerial production across the Southwest. Whether it’s establishing shots over the Phoenix metro, dramatic desert landscapes, or event coverage from above, I bring the same technical precision to drone work that I bring to ground-based cinematography. Fully insured and compliant with all airspace regulations.
Commercial Photography
Great stills and great motion come from the same place — a strong understanding of light, composition, and story. I shoot commercial photography for brand campaigns, events, lifestyle projects, and editorial work. If you need a single vendor for both photo and video on a production, I can deliver both at the same standard.

What it’s like to work with me
I run a tight ship. I come to set prepared, I communicate clearly in pre-production, and I build environments where creative risk is possible and timelines are respected. My clients tend to come back — not just because the work is strong, but because the process is smooth.
I’m based in Phoenix and take on projects locally, across the Southwest, and nationally. I travel regularly for production and am available for both day-rate DP work and full-production engagements through Houda Media LLC.
