About Hajo Sabri Hajo

Born in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq into a family closely connected to photography — where cameras, light and stories were part of everyday life.

Portrait — 02Kurdistan Region, Iraq

Hajo Sabri Hajo was born in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq into a family closely connected to photography and visual storytelling. His father is a photographer — so professional cameras, weddings and visual production were part of Hajo's world from an early age.

Growing up around real productions gave him practical, hands-on experience while still young: how a moment unfolds, how light shapes a face, how a story is built in the edit.

He later became actively involved with ART VIDEO, contributing across creative production and the company's growing digital infrastructure. His interests reached beyond the camera — into filmmaking, editing, graphic design, drones and FPV flying, and into websites, software, databases, servers, automation, digital systems and security.

He enjoys combining technology with visual production instead of treating them as separate disciplines. Hajo is currently a school student, continuing to build creative and technology projects alongside his studies.

ART VIDEO

Raised around photography.Now part of the production —and the systems behind it.

Hajo grew up around photography through his family, and later became actively involved with ART VIDEO — a photography and film production company in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, telling wedding, engagement and henna stories since 2007.

His involvement spans both sides of the company: the productions clients see, and the digital systems that quietly run behind them.
