THE STORY
It all started with a Canon Powershot that was purchased to capture the children’s special moments. That was where a passion was discovered, and an artist was awaken. Before you knew it, the Powershot was replaced with a DSLR, lenses and classes. A photographer emerged and a business was conceived. Hakim uses his keen eye to make life stand still; preserve a moment allowing viewers to look back and savor the time that was captured.
Hakim has been rewarded the prestigious honor to be selected to cover events such as the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 PGA Tour; The Atlanta-Caribbean Carnival, Caribana Toronto, Atlanta Fashion Mayhem, The 2015 and 2016 NFL Pro Bowl and The Women’s Soccer International. His work has been published in The Peach Review online magazine, La Reve magazine, It Girl magazine, Move Over magazine and Shining Faces children magazine. In addition, he has been a season credential holder for the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Hawks, where he also served as the house photographer.
For Hakim, “photography is a gift that allows the opportunity to capture life’s moments one frame at a time. It is an art that allows us savor life and all its beauty.”
As so eloquently spoken by Roger Kingston “A camera is a SAVE button for the mind’s eye”.
