Ehsan Khan

12 years working in film and visual production - as a cinematographer, DOP, and editor across feature films, drama serials, documentaries, and branded content. I've worked on commercial campaigns for clients like Huawei Pakistan, government productions, and broadcast series for Green Entertainment, Aplus TV and AAN TV, as well as narrative films that have had theatrical releases. I care about composition, lighting, and getting the shot right - and I'm equally comfortable running the full production pipeline from pre-production through to the final edit.

I'm genuinely excited by where AI is taking filmmaking and keen to bring my craft into that space.
