Ramy Mam

TESTIMONIALS

"Ramy Mam is not only an extremely skilled photographer, but he's also a joy to be around. The enthusiasm and good energy he brings to a set are second to none. And his work simply speaks for itself. I would recommend Ramy for your shoot and look forward to our next collaboration."

"I cannot say this enough times— I want Ramy Mam on the set of every film I make, both for his photography skills and his wonderful energy.
There is no recommending his work highly enough!
As an filmmaker, I know the value of promoting and branding my work.  When my last film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, our stills were a crucial part of our publicity. They got people excited to see the final product of all that fun and hard work and helped us grow our audience exponentially, before anyone had even seen the film. High-end, professional production stills are VITAL to the success of a solid marketing campaign.  They are an affordable, fun way to share the experience of making your art with the world.
Ramy has now shot behind-the-scenes photos for two films I have made, back to back.  The artistry with which he captures our set is unparalleled.  Every image is striking— beautifully and artistically composed-- telling the story of our process and all the love we put into our work.  They help us stand out in the sea of social media promotion and unpolished marketing.  On both occasions, he was there to share our martini shot with us.  Having a video of the moment I wrapped my first film as a director is so meaningful to me, and I never even would have thought to try to capture it at the time.
Making a film, or any work of art, can be a blur sometimes— you are focused on making your day, troubleshooting, and creating the very best product you can.  Being able to flip back through the moments that made it so special is an experience no one should cheat themselves of.  
On top of his talent as a photographer, one of the things I love most about working with Ramy is his wonderful spirit.   He always brings positive energy and a fun, friendly, professional vibe with him to set.  He’s quickly become a fixture on my sets, and I would be really bummed if I had to make a film without him in the future. 
Filmmaking, for me, is about the joy of making something special with a team I love, and I feel lucky to have found a set photographer who not only captures that joy, but is also a part of it."

"Having Ramy as a stills photographer on the set of the award-winning live action short, Hotel Bleu, was a solid investment in the film's ultimate success.  Ramy's compelling photos conveyed a spectrum of human emotion that evolves on a challenging and rewarding project, and they told the visually engaging story of how the film was made. He captured the behind- the-scenes, intimate moments with the director, the stars and the film crew.  These images helped lay the foundation for the film's promotion and  fund raising efforts by drawing interest with their postings on Hotel Bleu's social media and crowdfunding sites. Ramy's photos serve as a valuable visual history of how the film was made and discovered by a wider audience."

"We hired Ramy to be the set photographer on our short film "Compatibility". We hadn't met him before so didn't know what to expect but the work on his website looked fantastic! On set, Ramy was extremely professional, dedicated and hard working. He was almost invisible and did his work with so much passion. I even told him at one instance that he could leave for the day if he wanted to but he insisted that he stay. After the shoot (the next day) we received over 100 edited images from him in black and white and color. I've never worked with a photographer who is so fast and good at what they do. The photos he took were incredible. I would recommend Ramy to anyone shooting any film in NYC (shorts, features, narrative and documentaries). I think he would be a great asset to any team. Thanks so much Ramy!"

"Ramy was invisible and ever present at the same time. His photos not only captured the drama, and fun of being on a movie set, but his work is so beautiful, he basically created a professional headshot for every member of the crew. I will hire him for any film I make in the future."
