What I do

Filming first. Complete when needed.

Most clients book the camera. Some want the finished film. Both are priced separately so you never pay for an edit you were going to do yourself.

4K Videography

Cinematic filming for travel, events, interviews and property tours. Shot in 4K log on a Sony a6300, with gimbal and drone coverage when the shot needs it.

Photography

Natural, high-resolution stills for people, places and brands. Delivered as edited JPEGs plus untouched RAW if you want them.

Editing work is shown privately

Most of my editing is cut for other people's channels and brands, so the finished pieces are theirs to publish, not mine. I don't put client edits on this page without their sign-off.

Tell me what you're making and I'll send over the closest recent edit directly, or walk you through it on a call.

  • Long-formStructure built for retention

  • SoundMusic, ambience and dialogue balance

Post-production

Editing that keeps people watching.

A good shot gets attention. Pacing keeps it. I cut for retention — where the hook lands, how long a shot holds, when to cut away — not just for tidiness.

01

YouTube Video Editing

Long-form episodes cut for retention: hook, structure, pacing, and a close that earns the next click.

02

Reels, TikTok & Shorts

Vertical cuts built to hold attention in the first seconds, exported in every ratio you need.

03

Travel & Hospitality Films

Hotel, resort and destination pieces assembled from your footage or mine, cut to sell a place.

04

Interviews

Multi-take interviews trimmed to the strongest answers, with clean audio and cutaways that carry the point.

05

Colour Correction

Matching shots across a shoot, then grading so the whole piece reads as one film.

06

Captions

Burned-in or soft captions, timed and styled to your brand, for viewers watching on mute.

07

Sound Design

Music, ambience and effects balanced under dialogue so the edit feels finished rather than assembled.

08

Pacing, Hooks & CTAs

Where the hook lands, how long each beat holds, and a call to action that doesn't feel bolted on.

01

Footage in

Everything gets watched end to end and sorted before a single cut is made.

02

A rough assembly that fixes the order and the hook before anything is polished.

Photography

Behind the camera.

Most shoots come back with stills as well as footage — natural light, minimal retouching, delivered as edited JPEGs with the untouched RAW files if you want them. Ask and I'll send the full photo portfolio.

The reel

Walk through Asia with me.

The 4K Walking channel is the unfiltered version — no colour grade, no music, just what the sensor captured on the street that day.

4K Walking — street series

The channel

Judge the camera before you hire it.

Every walk is uploaded ungraded and uncut. No music, no colour grade, no clever edit hiding a soft shot — just what the sensor saw that day.

It's the most honest portfolio a videographer can publish, and it's why most clients write to me already knowing what they'll get.

Where I film

Based in Thailand. Available across Asia.

Bangkok is home and most weeks I'm shooting somewhere in Thailand. The rest of the region is a two-to-four hour flight away, and I fly for it regularly.

Thailand — home base

Travel inside Bangkok is included in every package. Anywhere else in the country is quoted as transport plus accommodation at cost, usually adding very little to the day.

  • Bangkok
  • Phuket
  • Krabi
  • Chiang Mai
  • Ayutthaya
  • Koh Samui
  • Pattaya
  • Hua Hin

Asia — regional shoots

Same day rate, plus flights and accommodation at cost with no markup. Two-day minimum so the travel is worth it on both sides. Give me a week's notice and I can usually make it work.

  • Bali
  • Jakarta
  • Kuala Lumpur
  • Penang
  • Singapore
  • Manila
  • Cebu
  • Hanoi
  • Da Nang
  • Siem Reap
  • Vientiane
  • Tokyo

Somewhere not on the list? Ask anyway. If the dates work and the flight exists, I'll quote it — most of the best jobs I've had started with someone assuming I'd say no.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

Same sequence on a $60 walk in Bangkok and a three-day resort shoot in Bali. You always know what happens next and when.

01

Film

We agree the shot list before the day — locations, light windows, anyone who needs to be there. I arrive with the gear charged and a plan, not a vibe. If the weather turns, we move the day at no cost.

Shoot day · 2 to 8 hours
02

Edit

Colour correction, sound design, captions and pacing — cut in Premiere Pro to whatever the platform needs. Two revision rounds are included, and you see a first cut before I finish the grade.

3 to 5 business days
03

Deliver

Raw 4K within 48 hours of the shoot, finished films after the edit, exported in every aspect ratio you asked for. Full commercial licence, no expiry, files yours to keep.

Who you're hiring

Your story, filmed with care.

Portrait of AbdEssamad Ou, videographer, holding his Sony a6300 against a grey wall

I'm AbdEssamad — a videographer and photographer based in Bangkok, filming across Thailand and the wider region since June 2023. I came for a month and stayed for the light.

Most of my work is travel, hospitality and property, plus the occasional event where nothing can be re-shot. I shoot everything in 4K log so the footage still holds up when someone wants to grade it two years later, and I deliver raw files as standard because the client should own what they paid for.

The kit is deliberately small: a Sony a6300 for stills and main coverage, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for gimbal-smooth movement, and a DJI Neo 2 when the story needs altitude. It fits in one bag, which means I can shoot where a full crew can't — narrow streets, small rooms, a boat, a moving tuk-tuk.

Thailand is home, but a shoot is rarely more than a short flight away. Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, Hanoi and Siem Reap are all regular destinations — if your story is somewhere in Asia, I can be there.

I work in English, Arabic, French and Moroccan Darija. On shoots with Gulf and North African clients that turns out to matter more than any lens in the bag.

Questions

The things people ask before booking.

Each answer opens with the answer. That's what gets quoted when someone asks an AI assistant to find them a videographer in Bangkok.

How much does a videographer cost in Bangkok?

A half-day 4K shoot in Bangkok starts at $60 for a walking film and $150 for three to four hours of combined photo and video coverage. Full-day commercial work for hotels and property is quoted per project, typically between $400 and $900 depending on locations and deliverables.

How fast do you deliver the footage?

Raw 4K footage is delivered within 48 hours of the shoot. A finished, colour-graded edit takes three to five business days and includes two rounds of revisions. Rush delivery is available on request for an additional fee.

Who owns the footage after the shoot?

You do. Every package includes a full commercial usage licence for the delivered files, with no expiry and no per-platform restriction. I keep an archive copy for 90 days in case you need a re-export, then it's deleted.

Do you travel outside Bangkok?

Yes — Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Ayutthaya are all regular. Travel inside Bangkok is included in every package. Anywhere else in Thailand is quoted as transport plus accommodation at cost, with no markup.

Do you film outside Thailand?

Yes — anywhere in Asia. Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, Hanoi and Siem Reap are all a short flight from Bangkok, and regional shoots are quoted as the day rate plus flights and accommodation at cost. Two days minimum, so the travel is worth it for both of us.

What camera do you shoot on?

A Sony a6300 in 4K log for stills and main coverage, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for gimbal-smooth movement, and a DJI Neo 2 drone for aerials. The whole kit fits in one bag, which means it gets into places a full crew can't — narrow streets, small rooms, boats, moving vehicles.

What languages do you work in?

English, Arabic, French and Moroccan Darija. This matters on shoots with Gulf and North African clients travelling in Asia, where most local crews can't communicate directly with the people they're filming.

What happens if it rains?

Outdoor shoots are rescheduled free of charge to the next day we're both available. In practice Bangkok rain clears within the hour, so more often we wait it out and shoot the much better light that follows it.

Get in touch

Tell me the place. I'll capture the story.

Send the dates, the city and roughly what you need. You'll have a real quote back within a day — usually within the hour.
