About

Being from Brooklyn has left an indelible mark on Jamal’s cinematography. 

He has been working in the industry for 12 years, across the States and internationally, on short films, feature-length movies, television, commercials, documentaries, and artistic branded videos.  

Selected works in the narrative space include “Flowers” (HBO Short Film, American Black Film Festival), “Angelfish” (TIFF Next Wave Film Festival), “Sea Lion Cow” & “As of Yet” (Tribeca Film Festival). 

Jamal’s TV credits include Marvel’s MPower on Disney Plus & TV One’s UNCENSORED. 

He is a recipient of the Zeiss Precision Image Award.

For Jamal, these momentous achievements cemented the belief that improvement is vital and should be utilized in strengthening every frame.

As a creative, he seeks to find beauty in visceral environments and how the two can juxtapose and complement each other. To him, these remain to be his North Stars behind the lens.

"The study and story of light – and its touch on each tale – is what consistently drives me to practice this artform time and time again. It is a true passion of mine. Understanding the way it can evocatively lend itself to each moment and mold it into an experience, I believe, is worth studying."
