About me
Who is Your Local Media Guy?
My name is Shaayan Akhtar. I am a 22 year old, with a passion for creating content/ story telling. My interest for media creation began before I was even aware of it. As a child I was in love with action figures, and my first love for creating videos began with stop motion animation. I would use my moms old camera to take pictures. Using free software such as "Windows Movie Maker" to create stop motion animation videos, of my action figures. As a young student, I always loved story telling. Every school video project I was ever involved in, I always took the initiative to take the role of the filmer/ editor. I remember having limited equipment and software. I always loved the idea of bringing a story to life. A lot of my childhood was also spent playing video games, as I would love to play games such as "Grand Theft Auto" & Racing Games like "Forza". These games had in game photo options, which lead me to create my first ever Instagram page called "GTA5modifiedcars". It is still active to this day. Photography and videography have been apart of my life since I was a child, but even in my late teens, I co-founded "Roaddawgs Media". An automotive photography/ videography Instagram page which started off as a hobby and eventually turned into a job. Today as a young Adult, I have worked with several brands and businesses in helping them create content such as photos, videos, flyers, logos, and etc. I have managed multiple online social media businesses and continue to grow my portfolio on a daily basis.
