About

Los Angeles–based Digital Imaging Technician with 15+ years on commercial and editorial sets across fashion, beauty, and advertising. The work is tethered capture, color management, file integrity, and live client review for brands and publications that depend on tight turnarounds and zero margin for error. A trained eye for color, exposure, and composition — combined with the calm, problem-solving presence that quietly keeps long shoot days on track. When the photographer is shooting and the art director is at the DIT cart watching playback, Aladdin keeps a listening ear — relaying notes when the timing's right, so creative direction lands cleanly without breaking the photographer's flow. He co-founded Aidi Pictures to consolidate the capture, post, and equipment infrastructure his clients had been stitching together from separate vendors — including the DR8, the company's custom robotic capture station.

The creative capture
station that keeps things light.

Custom-built. Robotic. Mobile. The DR8 collapses the setup and breakdown time of a full tethered capture station from hours to minutes — and travels easily between locations.

One operator. Complete capture pipeline. No bottleneck. The result: cleaner days, less crew overtime, and the kind of on-set agility that fashion and advertising shoots increasingly demand.
