During his career, spanning close to 20 years, Lafi’s worldwide assignments have taken him around the world from remote areas such as Antarctica and the plains of the Arabian Desert to metropolitan cities all around the world. His passion for film and photography is evident and recognizable to those who are familiar with his work. As a filmmaker, photographer, and a humanitarian Lafi has tackled sensitive issues such as the impact of cultural behavior on the mentally ill and the misguided stigmatic attitude towards the disabled in the Middle East and neighboring countries, the blight of Palestinian and Syrian refugees and the impact of the war on the children. His contribution to social issues has also seen him explore the realities of human trafficking in Nepal and the plight of abandoned children living on the streets of Ethiopia, and the suffering of the Bajau Laut in Malaysia Borneo. As a Director at Hand Held stories and the founder of Reel Help, Lafi is in constant pursuit of social justice to those who are unrepresented.
