About

I am a passionate DP, versatile non-linear editor, and skilled sound recordist with a proven track record working under pressure for international broadcasters like CNN, BBC, CBS, DW News, TRT world and Al Jazeera. My commitment to ensure high-quality outputs, keeps me willing to go the extra mile. I am driven by experimentation to create innovative and compelling visuals and audios. Currently, I freelance with various broadcasters, contributing to news stories, features, and live setups through AKS Films. My documentary work includes notable projects like "Frontiers" Aus AID" "The Long Way Home" for UNDP, "Every Last Child" commissioned by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and “To walk with pride” for Rotary International. Trained by industry veterans and seasoned professionals at CNN, I possess vast technical knowledge and am adept at quickly adapting to new technologies. I thrive in fast-paced environments. I have worked with EMMY, PRIX, BAFTA, award winning Director Tom Roberts.

    Sana is an exceptional DP who is willing to go the extra mile to make a project work. He bent over backwards to ensure the shoot went as planned, and was instrumental in helping arrange logistics, fixers and drivers. I would not hesitate to work with Sana again and I highly recommend him.
