Raad Saif Rahman

Photographer

Where Vision Meets Venture in Global Fashion Photography Raad Rahman is a photographer and artist to the core — a creative force whose work lives at the intersection of fashion, storytelling, and global culture. Specializing in commercial fashion and social media content for brands in swimwear, skincare, makeup, bridal, and athletic wear, Raad blends artistic instinct with calculated precision. For him, every shoot is not just an image — it’s a carefully engineered experience with emotion, purpose, and wow factor. Over the past 15 years, Raad has built his career not only as a creative but as a strategist.

He approaches photography with the same mindset he applies to his other successful business ventures: understanding the client’s needs, mapping out every detail of a shoot beforehand, and delivering high-quality work on time — without the need for a redo. The result? A reputation for reliability, creativity, and a working experience that people genuinely enjoy. Lighting, for Raad, is more than a technical skill — it’s an evolving art form. Whether it’s shooting under the unpredictable rhythms of natural light or controlling every angle in a studio setting, he treats lighting as both science and soul. It’s this deep understanding that gives his images their signature emotional impact. What fuels him even after 15 years? Growth. Innovation. The challenge of creating something unique with every shoot. Raad believes photography doesn’t end with the shutter — post-production and editing are just as vital. That’s where the image is polished into a story, finished with nuance and intent. But Raad’s artistry isn’t confined to the camera. He’s also the founder of Kona Dhaka, a café that blends Hawaiian and Asian-inspired flavors into a fresh, lifestyle-forward culinary experience. He’s the driving force behind Drawhouse Design, a full-spectrum creative agency that specializes in branding, interior design, web development, and custom software — all executed with the same design-forward approach he brings to his photography. Raad thrives in spaces where creativity and lifestyle intersect. He gravitates toward projects and businesses that are meaningful, visually driven, and culturally resonant. Whether it's launching a café, building a brand identity, or capturing a new fashion campaign, his fingerprint is unmistakably artistic, refined, and unique. He also brings a global perspective to everything he touches. From Bangkok to Dubai, Milan to London, Toronto to LA, Raad’s camera travels the world, working with models of all ethnicities and aesthetics, always chasing that fresh, global energy. Publications like Vogue and Bazaar frequently feature his work, often captured in destination locations around the world. At heart, Raad Rahman is a creator — one who sees no boundary between art and business, between commerce and soul. Every project he touches is an invitation to see, feel, and experience something unforgettable.
