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.

A Landmark Moment in Blue

Tiziano Ferro

A landmark moment in my career and the realization of a long-held professional goal: my first cover for Vanity Fair Italia. Featuring global icon Tiziano Ferro on location in Los Angeles, this cover story was the result of a deep creative partnership; having directed Tiziano’s music videos and photographed his album cover earlier that year, we approached this session with a rare level of shorthand and trust. The 12-page editorial blends high-fashion pieces from Prada and Versace with an unfiltered energy, capturing a celebrated artist in his most authentic element.
