Selected Works
The studio
I'm Khalil. I run Naja Studio — a video and photo production studio based in Nice, on the French Riviera. Most of what we make lives somewhere in sport: Hyrox events, marathons, triathlons, trail runs, athletes, the clubs and coaches that hold the whole thing together. The work travels when the story asks it to.
The philosophy has always been simple: find the story, build the frame, make something worth watching. Get close, stay quiet, let the work be the work.
The studio is one filmmaker plus a small circle of trusted collaborators — sound, color, second camera, photo support when the day needs it. Lean operation, full commitment to every shot. Nothing extracted from the budget that doesn't end up on screen.
If there's a story, there's a frame. I'd love to hear about yours.
What we make

Race days, Hyrox events, marathons, triathlons, trail runs — captured on location, in real time, with full commitment to the shot.
Enquire ↗︎Brand Film

Sport, event, and brand photography. Single-session shoots or alongside a film project. Available separately or as part of a combined production.
Enquire ↗︎“Khalil didn't just film our race — he caught what makes Hyrox feel like Hyrox. Athletes still send us the cut a year later. That's the test.
