About
Trained as an AV systems engineer before he ever picked up a camera.
That order matters — Mohammed reads a shoot the way an engineer reads a signal chain, then frames it the way a director reads a scene. Over five years he's moved between broadcast news, corporate and commercial production, and music video direction, always looking for the shot that carries both information and feeling.
He's currently working as a Camera Person and Ronin gimbal operator with Al Jazeera Media Network. Before that, he spent a year as a videographer with Euronews in Doha, producing cinematic reports and interviews for a magazine-style show on culture, society and technology in Qatar, working alongside international journalists and producers.
