Motion, made in Kabul

Four of my own motion pieces: a kinetic-type intro, a vertical reel about ten years of design, "The Dot" and a 15-second creative reel. They play silently on scroll; tap the speaker for sound.

The toolkit

One creator, every tool connected

From the camera in the field to the timeline at my desk, every step runs through one pair of hands.

About

One creator, from first frame to final cut

I'm Suliman, an Afghan creative designer, photographer, videographer and editor. For more than ten years I've been turning ideas into images and films that move people.

I don't hand my work from one person to the next. I design the visuals, shoot the photos, film the footage and edit it all myself, so every project keeps one clear style from start to finish. Editing is where it all comes together: I cut, colour-grade, add motion graphics and sound until the story feels right.

  • Graphic designBrand identity, social media, print, ads and layouts
  • PhotographyPortraits, products, events, travel and landscapes
  • VideographyDrone, gimbal and DSLR filming for brands and stories
  • Video editingCutting, colour grading, sound, motion graphics and reels

I started designing at Black Store in Kabul in 2010, created social media campaigns for MTN Afghanistan, and since 2021 I've been a Creative Design Specialist at Kam Air. Alongside my job I work freelance, and I carry a camera everywhere, filming the light over Bamyan, the colours of Kabul's hillsides and the roads most people never travel.
