Work With Ahmed Klink
WORKING NOT WORKING
“You start in one place and you end up somewhere else at the end.” While Ahmed Klink is referring to the transformative experience of portrait photography, his words double as a concise summation of any creative journey. Over the course of a day, year, or entire career, the ultimate goal of an artist is a well-traveled craft.
The creative industry recognizes Ahmed as a brilliant New York-based filmmaker and photographer with a client list that includes 72andSunny, Billboard, Bacardi, Adidas, MTV, and Converse. But that’s not where he started. Ahmed was born in Lebanon in the 80s where he escaped a raging Civil War, finding shelter in France where he spent the next 20 years. His interests are also a journey unto themselves. Ahmed received a PhD researching how nanoparticles effectively diagnose heart disease before informing his thesis defense jury that he’d be pursuing photography.
Work With is a film series from Working Not Working that introduces you to the creatives behind the work. In this installment, Ahmed Klink shows you that when you take the time to visualize where you want to be, making moves becomes second nature.
