“I hired Hamid for two long back to back days of filming. I had been hoping to find a competent cinematographer local to the Philadelphia area to assist me in filming a 12-part Master Class Web series for a client. I had lucked out to observe Hamid in action filming a wedding only weeks before hiring him. Not only did he do an excellent job for the newlyweds and fight hard to capture every special moment, I also saw him make a bold behind-the-scenes move to prevent a potential audio disaster - whereas most DPs would have said audio is not my problem. Hamid returned my call right away and assured me that not only was he was up for the gig of manning the B Cam on slider, he also had all the equipment that I assumed I’d need to rent from a rental house. In the end, he saved me two trips to rental house, hiring a gaffer and he was fun to work with. In the end, the most important question I get asked is would you hire him again. My answer is yes, in a heart beat. He was competent, knowledgeable about his gear, arrived on time, was flexible when last minute changes were added, and the client felt positively encouraged by his presence.”
