Hamed Aleali

I am Hamed Ed Aleali, cinematographer and filmmaker, currently based in Montreal. Graduated with distinction from Film Production program at Concordia University and driven by a passion for cinematography, I gain personal satisfaction in helping others capture their memories and tell their stories through a creative cinematographic eye. No matter which camera I am shooting on, I effectively use lighting and composition to tell stories visually. During my studies, I had held numerous positions in production; from a grip and gaffer to editor, colorist, cinematographer and director. Born in Iran in 1979, I was introduced to photography at the age of 12 when my father gave me a Lubitel TLR 120mm camera. Till now, I have written and directed five short films and I have shot many commercials, corporate documentaries and short fiction films including VR projects. This experience gives me a wide range of knowledge on different camera systems that allow me to make an informed camera format choice based on the needs of the production. I am currently working as a Post-production Supervisor at EyeSteelFilm.
