RIAD HAMIDI

Born in Algeria and raised primarily in Canada, my passion for filmmaking and photography stems deeply from the rich tapestry of stories and vivid imagery I experienced throughout my life. Visual storytelling is not just my craft—it's my most authentic language. Fascinated by composition, colour, and cinematic expression, I seek to capture the profound beauty within human experiences and their diverse environments.

My artistic style is characterized by a contemplative and elegant simplicity. It demonstrates a deep appreciation for composition, color, and cinematic language, capturing the beauty of diverse cultures and human environments. This approach results in imagery that is both evocative and timeless, often emerging quietly through contemplation and patience. My creative process is deliberate and unhurried, allowing ideas and concepts to evolve organically.

My ultimate aim is to evoke nostalgia and a deep sense of beauty in those who experience my work, creating a lasting emotional connection. I'm always eager to collaborate and bring new stories to life. If my work resonates with you or if you have a vision you'd like to explore together, I'd love to hear from you—please reach out! Whether through film or photography, my goal is to make my clients feel appreciated, understood, and genuinely expressive of their unique stories.

Over the past decade, I have established myself in the film industry, working as a First Assistant Camera on over 100 major films and commercials. Highlights of my journey include directing and filming the documentary "Alkhali," which compassionately explores the lives of a refugee family from Niger. Additionally, my screenplay was selected for a prestigious mentorship program with NAWAL Association, and I was honored to pitch my work at the Cinemania Film Festival.

Every project is a testament to my dedication to storytelling and the beauty of human connection.
