Filmmaker. Award-winning documentary director. I script, direct, shoot and edit. Human interest, environment, food, culture and politics, in no particular order. Shooting locally, thinking globally is the motto. Traveling is a way of life. Love telling stories in all shapes and forms. Believer in strong visuals and their power to tell.

As usual, Shira did an excellent job. She shot the story with multiple cameras. The interviews were shot with two cameras, and provided a simple and clear instruction to sync both cameras easily. She sent out transcript in the video before every soundbite, so the Ins and Outs could not be mistaken. She gave us amazing footage shot in RAW as requested. Shira always responds promptly. - Mohamed Fawzy, AJ+ Arabic producer

Shira showed up on time, had great equipment, great knowledge of London and was very helpful in general with getting what we were going for. Her communication style is organised, efficient and relaxed. She really earned her five stars.

Shira was totally professional, diligent, responsive, thoughtful & inventive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their work visually, and to find the story beneath the surface.
