ABOUT ME
I’m Ahmed Ghandour, a cinematographer, photographer, and editor based in London. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Film and Television production from Royal Holloway, University of London, where I developed my passion for visual storytelling. My work has allowed me to explore and capture compelling narratives, whether through the camera lens or in the editing suite. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to receive several film awards, which reflect my commitment to pushing creative boundaries and delivering impactful visual experiences.
In my freelancing career, I've had the opportunity to work across a diverse range of projects, each allowing me to sharpen my skills and adapt to different environments. I’ve covered everything from party photography, where I capture the energy and spontaneity of events, to shooting weddings and proposals, where I document one of the most important days in a couple’s life with care and creativity. I’ve also produced adverts promoting brands and exposing their products. My experience in sports filming has also taught me to anticipate movement and capture high-intensity moments with precision, ensuring that every critical play or emotional reaction is preserved.
Portrait and fashion photography are also key areas of my work, where I focus on bringing out the unique personality and style of my subjects. Whether it's a high-energy event or an intimate portrait session, I approach every project with the same level of dedication and artistic vision. This range of experiences has not only broadened my technical abilities but also deepened my understanding of storytelling through visuals, allowing me to deliver tailored and impactful content for each of my clients.
I am dedicated to continuing my journey in the world of cinematography and photography, always striving to create work that resonates with audiences.
