ABOUT SEBASTIAN

I’m a freelance Director of Photography and the founder of Hakim Film Co, based in Manchester, UK. Originally from just outside North London, I moved to Manchester to study Filmmaking at Manchester Met University, graduating with First-Class Honours. The city and people captured me, and it’s been home ever since.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work on a wide range of projects around the world, from travel documentaries, electrifying music stages and commercials and I’ve collaborated with some great clients. My passion lies in crafting cinematic visuals that help clients tell authentic stories and make a meaningful impact.

I value strong working relationships and pride myself on delivering projects that we can both be proud of. Whether it’s a documentary, commercial, or creative campaign, I aim to combine technical expertise with a collaborative approach to bring every vision to life.

If you have a project you’d like to bring to life through video, I’d love to hear from you.
