I have always had a passion for visual arts, travelling and adventure. After studying Petroleum Engineering and working in the oil industry for a few years, I decided to change my career to media production. I have had different roles on many different projects; DOP, Director, Creative Director, Cameraman. I have a strong background in still photography and I really enjoy cinematography.

Mahmoud was great to work with and delivered high-quality footage we needed for a project in a super timely fashion. We needed a lot of footage of rush hour transportation across the Bosphorus and he met every requirement for the project, and exceeded expectations. I'd trust him to work on any project with us in Istanbul, and hope to collaborate again down the road for HuffPost!

Mahmoud was wonderful to work with. He did extensive research on restaurants and places where Koshari was made and, on top of that and out of his own initiative, he also provided the production team with draft scripts and creative ideas on how to produce the short-documentary during COVID-19. Mahmoud was energetic and passionate for the project and I highly recommend him.

Smooth and simple. Very happy with the picture. He took the direction we gave and ran with it flexibly and with a lot of clear communication.

Eighteen stories below ground in Turkey’s Cappadocia region, the ancient city of Derinkuyu remained hidden for centuries. The underground city was rediscovered in 1963 when a man knocked down a wall in his basement and stumbled across a hidden room. From there, an excavation revealed the impressive network of tunnels connecting ancient churches, schools and living quarters.

Deep inside the Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis, Turkey, lies the country’s most relaxing site. From a distance, Pamukkale’s cascading white pools resemble a castle of fluffy cotton. But a closer look reveals the pools to have limestone walls and turquoise, mineral-rich water. The inviting pools are said to contain healing properties that improve the skin, eyes and blood pressure.

Hidden in the rock structures of the ancient Turkish region of Cappadocia, some of the world’s oldest Christian churches are carved in stone. The Göreme Open Air Museum is a cluster of chapels, monasteries and churches that date back to the 4th century. These unique stone structures, formed from a 2.6 million-year-old volcanic eruption, house 10 separate churches that make up the museum.

Easter Island isn't the only place in the world with massive, mysterious and ancient stone faces. On the highest peak of eastern Turkey's Taurus mountains, sits Nemrut Dağ. In 62 B.C., King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene ordered the construction of this site—which contains a temple, a tomb and a house of gods—to commemorate himself. The tomb is flanked by 30-foot statues of the king, as well as pa
