My Portfolio
ABOUT ME:
I’m Naz, a creative with over a decade of experience in video production, content creation and music. I specialise in filming, editing and sound engineering, with a strong focus on storytelling across digital platforms. I have also worked in the arts charity sector for 15 years, giving me an in depth understanding of how creative organisations engage communities, communicate impact, build trust with participants and use storytelling to support wider social change.
Born and raised in Brixton, South London, with a Bangladeshi upbringing, I have always understood the importance of culture, identity and representation. My passion for music and film started from documenting the creativity around me, and over time this developed into a career focused on using media to amplify voices, tell meaningful stories and connect with communities. This feels closely aligned with Music Action International’s work co-creating music for wellbeing with survivors of war, torture, trafficking and persecution.
Throughout my career, I have created a wide range of content across campaigns, social media, events, interviews, educational projects, artist development and community programmes. My portfolio includes examples of campaign content, video storytelling, promotional visuals, social media assets and project documentation that demonstrate my ability to turn real stories and project activity into engaging digital content for different audiences.
I am confident planning content, filming and editing video, writing copy, producing social media posts, capturing interviews and shaping campaign material that is visually strong, purposeful and aligned with an organisation’s message. I have worked closely with young people, artists, funders, facilitators, partners and community organisations, often supporting people to share their stories in a way that feels safe, respectful and empowering.
School Music Project
For this project, I took full creative and technical responsibility for producing a promotional reel for a school music programme, managing the entire production process from initial planning and creative direction through to filming, audio production and final editing.
My approach was to create more than a standard behind the scenes video. I wanted to capture the energy of the sessions, highlight the relationship between the music tutor and school teacher, and communicate the value and impact of the programme through engaging visual storytelling. The reel was specifically produced for social media, serving as both a promotional tool and a way to showcase the creative opportunities available to young people.
I used Sony mirrorless cameras and DJI wireless microphones to capture high quality visuals and dialogue, before taking the audio into Logic Pro X for mixing. I then completed the editing, colour correction and final delivery, bringing together the footage, interviews and sound to create a polished, engaging piece that supported the programme’s visibility and wider communications.
Cinematic Music Video Production
This project was designed to give young people the opportunity to gain hands on experience working on a real music video production, developing their technical skills and understanding of a professional film set.
I took the lead in directing, editing and colour grading the music video, while creating opportunities for young people to observe, learn and actively participate in the production process.
Working with a limited budget, I took a resourceful and creative approach to production, making the most of the equipment and locations available to achieve cinematic visuals. The shoot involved an outdoor car mounting system, wireless video transmitters and a DJI gimbal to capture dynamic shots and smooth camera movement.
The project combined professional production with education, demonstrating how strong planning, technical knowledge and creative problem solving can deliver impactful results without the need for a large production budget.
Arts Charity Festival Film
This video documents a community arts festival delivered and co-created by young people through an arts charity programme. The project captured the energy, creativity and voices of young people as they took part in planning, filming and sharing the story of the festival.
As part of the programme, I delivered 10 practical media workshops, supporting young people to learn key skills in filming, editing, camera work, sound capture and visual storytelling. The final video was filmed and edited by the young participants, giving them hands on experience of producing real content for a live community event.
My role included planning and delivering the workshops, mentoring the young creatives, supporting them on location, and helping them build confidence using professional media equipment. The project gave young people the opportunity to develop technical skills while also learning teamwork, communication, creativity and how to tell stories through film.
This piece is a strong example of my work combining arts, media, youth engagement and community storytelling.
Revamp Project Film
This video documents a creative revamp project within an arts and community setting, capturing the process, people and final outcome of the work. The project focused on transforming the space and showcasing how creative collaboration can bring new energy, purpose and identity to a community environment.
I led on the revamp project and managed the overall delivery, supporting the planning, coordination and creative direction from start to finish. My role included overseeing the project, working with the team, managing the process, and making sure the final outcome reflected the vision and needs of the organisation.
This video demonstrates my experience in project management, creative leadership, visual storytelling and producing content for arts, charity and community organisations.

Product/Brand Content
For this project, I was shooting content for a natural drinks brand, using a coloured backdrop, two-point Aputure lighting and natural lighting to build a fresh and visually clean setup. This video was created to highlight the behind the scenes process and show what really goes into the work I do on set.
Drone and Atmosphere Work.
This piece began as a drone test shoot, capturing wide landscape shots while testing the drone’s tracking system. The edit was kept minimal, with simple grading and sound design added around the birds passing through the frame. More than anything, this video was about atmosphere, feeling and creating a sense of connection with nature.
On-Bike Content
For this piece, I wanted to turn a regular riding video into something that felt more meaningful and relatable. Shot using action cameras and a GoPro mounted with electronic suction mounts and magic arms, the focus was on creating immersive visuals from simple moments.
Because I was relying fully on natural light, I chose to ride in the direction of the sunlight so it hit me from the front rather than from behind. That decision helped shape the mood and made the footage feel more intentional.
The editing approach was kept clean and minimal, using keyframing, colour correction and film burns to soften transitions and blend the cuts in a way that felt natural and cinematic
Below are three instrumentals I produced. From start to finish, I worked with young people to develop these songs into a high quality final format, supporting the full process from early ideas and writing through to recording, arrangement, mixing, and final export.
I’m confident with recording, mixing, and session management in Logic Pro X, and I’m also comfortable working across other DAWs when needed.
These tracks are examples of my work and I’m open to producing across different genres depending on the artist and the direction of the project.
