Hello, I’m Walid

I’m a photographer, director, and creative director with a simple mission: to tell stories that matter.


Dive deeper on the About/Contact page, but here’s the gist—whether it’s a colossal brand or a budding startup, I’m all about bringing your stories to life that contain their humanity in a tech-world.


Additionally, I have a passion for mentoring fellow creatives, that’s on the Courses page and my social media.

Usher Albums & Promo

Spanning over two and a half years of global travel, this collaboration with Usher was a masterclass in building a visual legacy in real-time. From the high-stakes pressure of four album covers to the quiet discipline of hotel rooms and gyms, I had unfettered access to the man behind the icon—capturing his world across red carpets, airports, and center stages. I’ve always appreciated that he was the first to truly recognize the ‘exquisite’ nature of my eye before the industry at large caught on; it was a validation that fueled a tireless work ethic to deliver a shared vision that felt as raw as it did refined.

For a deeper look into our 30-month journey on the road, I invite you to explore the Documentary Page (Gallery 1 & 2), where the story continues behind the scenes
