BIO
Ousama (Ossi) Rawi
My passion for photography started at a very early age. I was completely fascinated with the art of photography and by my early teens my passion had evolvedto cinematography.
My introduction to the film business was as an apprentice at a Commercials production company in London, where a great deal of my time was spent making tea.
In between the “tea breaks” I had many an opportunity to observe and absorb the workings of a film set and more importantly, observe many notable DP’s whose work I admired perform their magic.
My professional career began in the UK at Border Television in Carlisle, first as a newsreel cameraman and later shooting documentaries.Ousama Rawi was born on 3 March in Baghdad, Iraq.
I left Carlisle and went to London. After securing some work shooting shorts, I managed to segue into filming commercials. My transition to long form feature films was a result of occasionally working with Features Directors who were also directing commercials.
