Bio
Asad Hamir
Kino is a great person to have on your team. No BS never afraid to say it how it is and is a great content creator and creative. He is someone who thrives when working autonomously with clear direction and will deliver work to an extremely high standard. He always hustles to deliver work within a budget or below budget. He is opinionated in a positive way with his creative style but at the same time a fab team player. Beyond work, he’s someone who is a lovely guy and is always willing to open up his network to help others. Thoroughly enjoyed working with Kino and would recommend him to work with for creative projects.

Kino is a very talented creative director! He has the ability to create visual assets which really stand out and demand attention. He is also commercially aware and knows the role cost plays in generating creative assets to make any campaigns provide an ROI. He is a pleasure to work with and can challenge accordingly when he feels something should be done differently. I would recommend Kino for his great work, thank you for all your help!

Feb 2014 - Apr 2018
Clients: BBC, Zara, Wonderland, Pocket Motion, Universal Music Group, Telegraph, Phoenix Magazine, Loreal, Asos, and many more. The role was very hands-on. I handled the entire workflow of the studio, budgets, marketing and all creative strategy. I was also fully in charge of the entire bookings calendar and external clients. I worked closely with external shooting producers to guarantee shoots were extremely organised, on budget and on schedule. I coordinated with Wex rentals and other major UK production companies for equipment and production staff. I managed all clients needs and expectations during shoots. I was also the lead photographer, editor and videographer on many e-commerce and editorial shoots. Other duties involved; lighting setups for studio photography, building sets, creating complicated lighting schemes and rigging for video shoots and commercials. I was the first line of contact for tutorials on lighting setups & equipment. • Highlights The company grew financially in less than a year due to its reputation for great customer service. The clientele began to request my services as a shoot producer, fashion photographer, lighting technician and videographer/ editor. As a result, the studio now offers production services across all lines of production. The company has doubled its profits in two years and are expanding. Show less
