01 — Cinematic NYC

CREATEDBYMOKKA

New York at every hour, from blue hour on the East River to the last light on the skyline. Transitions, drone work, and the small moments that make the city feel like itself. New work goes up on @createdbymokka.

02 — Food in NYC

EATSBYMOKKA

POV food reviews from around New York, shot with the same eye I bring to the city itself. I am after the best meals and the best deals, from Chinatown to Flushing to a jerk chicken truck in Brooklyn. It all lives on @eatsbymokka.

Lulu La La · Chinatown A $10 Korean fried chicken bowl that had no business being that good. Watch Reel ↗
Sashimi Express · UES One of the best sushi deals in the city, and it tasted like it cost triple. Watch Reel ↗
Jamrock Jerk · Brooklyn Jerk chicken out of a food truck, and genuinely one of the best things I've eaten. Watch Reel ↗
RongWang · Flushing Authentic Cantonese in Queens, exactly the way it should be done. Watch Reel ↗
Smashy · Union Square One of the best burger deals in NYC, plus a look behind the counter. Watch Reel ↗

03 — Client Work

CLIENT PROJECTS

Work made for other people: product demos, music films, brand campaigns, concert recaps, and restaurant content. Some of it is full creative direction, some of it is just the camera and the edit. Everything below is the finished piece, not a reel of clips.

CREATEDBYMOKKA

Building a creative page to eventually pursue a full-time career in photography and videography. Every post is a step toward that vision: growing the audience, sharpening the craft, and documenting New York City like it's never been seen.

Building
MOKKA MOTION

The creative studio side of the work. I make scroll-stopping video for NYC restaurants and local businesses, the kind of content that performs like an ad without ever feeling like one. The whole build is being filmed and posted as a series.

In Development
NRICONNECTIONS

Building the only dedicated matrimonial platform for nonresident Indians around the world, connecting diaspora communities across borders with intention, culture, and care at the core.

Nihad — @createdbymokka

WHO
I AM

I'm Nihad, and I create cinematic visuals that make you feel something. I shoot New York the way it actually feels to live here: transitions, drone lines, golden hour, and the people who keep the city moving.

Right now I'm building three things at once. Createdbymokka is where I document the city. Eatsbymokka is where I shoot its food. Mokka Motion is the studio, where I bring that same eye to restaurants, brands, and local businesses that need work people actually stop for.

I'm also building NRIConnections, a matrimonial platform for the global Indian diaspora, which keeps me honest about the difference between making something look good and making something people use.

Creativity meets intention. NYC isn't just where I live, it's the lens I see the world through.
