About me
I'm Babi, a cinematographer and gaffer.I'm a friendly and workaholic guy who is willing to help in his best interest and produce a good piece of work which it is the reason that he is here. For the same reason and to improve my knowledge I'm studying at Mphil/PhD Art and design - Cinematography and Philosophy.My passion is cinematography and for this reason I worked on over 40 projects as a Director of photography, Gaffer and their assistants include Features, Shorts, Students and Music Videos. I'm experienced in working with huge range of video cameras include Arri Alexa, RED, Canon Cine, DSLRs etc. Hence, I'm confident to use any video cameras. I do believe that lighting is one of the most important knowledge which a cinematographer should have. For that reason I experienced the field as a Gaffer, Lighting Designer and their assistant.I feel that I am well qualified to be an effective member in shooting and lighting for film, video and photography projects.

Highlights
-
Rime S Frost
Babak is a very talented and creative director of photography with an extremely keen eye for detail. He is a professional who is very dedicated to his work and vision and the vision of the director. Working with Babak, you gain a very trusted and knowledgeable partner who works extremely hard, providing excellent results.
His has a creative flair for molding light which creates mood in unconventional ways. He is an asset to the team and I would definitely continue to work with him in the future. -
HyneSight Films
Babi worked for us on a short horror film as the DOP and did a fantastic job. He worked well with the Director and communicated clearly and concisely. He put a lot of hard work in prior to the shoot in pre production also with the organisation of shots and story with the director and more. We had complete faith in his ability and dedication to the project. The film has now been shortlisted for a competition held by film4.
We would have no hesitation to work with Babi again and hope to do so again in the future.

Babi was nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism extends beyond the role of gaffer that was given to him. He went beyond to ensure the shoots we had went without a hiccup. He is punctual and has vast knowledge of the business and bonds well with everyone on set.
We had a few issues with equipment and Babi was quick on his feet to find a solution, even when we thought it was impossible, he always found a way to get it done. I loved every minute working with him and I would recommend him to anyone.
Furthermore, Babi is always one of the first people to arrive on set and the last to leave.
Personally I can't wait until we can have him on the next project. Absolute class. -
Jeffrey Owusu (Cinematographer)
Clearly Mr jani, is a professional dop/gaffer he came on board a our short film and made the film it is today, he had a very professional attitude, was always on time and the last to leave on most night, made sure all the kit was pack properly even this was not his role, he help out steer the look of film with his invaluable knowledge, crew like Mr Jani are hard to come buy so when they are your project, you know your in safe hand, we will always give Jani (babi) first refusal on any of our upcoming project.
cannot recommend Jani enough, I can go on but if you want to see the wrath of Babi, you to will be be please as the producer and I was.
Thanks Jani and keep film alive with what you do so well as a cinematographer and the occasional gaffer man.
