All photographers, models, and creatives, whether you are new, old, or have yet to enter the photography space, Walid is bringing the facts and the knowledge everyone should have. Not only is the information presented in an easily digestible way, but his delivery feels like it comes from a place of wanting to help and not just wanting to get an extra click.

I highly encourage anyone who is interested in photography to go through Walid's other videos because almost no one else is delivering this level of content for the intrinsic value it holds.

Im a photographer without any studio experience and this was so helpful for me! A perfect way to learn the dos and donts when hopefully working in someone’s studio in the future 🙏 Thanks a lot for this video!

I have my own studio in LA, I only rent to photographers I know because I have so many fears. I come from another industry involving rentals and so many people damage things. I have a lot of equipment in the studio and worry a lot about it.
