Emanuel Rahmanan · Director & DP

Emanuel Rahmanan is a filmmaker, director of photography, and photographer based in New York City. He creates cinematic brand films and documentary-style stories, and shoots portraits, food, product, and events — recent credits include filming at the 2026 FIFA World Cup (Brazil vs Norway, Round of 16, at MetLife Stadium), a luxury campaign for EFFY Jewelry, and a brand film for MESA School on Long Island.
