Dazed100

Photographer turned casting person with an international perspective. I first picked up the camera when I was 15, since then have had some really incredible opportunities that have fortunately led me to so many places and create many friendships. Now moving more in the film and TV world, I’ve had the chance to work with and learn from some of the UK's most prolific Casting Directors over the course of my career so far, working on a wide range of projects.  In the last year I’ve assisted on 7 major projects the past year releasing 2025/26, which is very exciting. The common theme in my work is to share and explore authentic stories that deserve to be celebrated. On the side i work on Black in Britain, my online blog, connecting audiences to anything and everything Black from talent to history by amplifying now moving into a different space. Select Casting Director projects include Pa Salieu - Belly, Ayra Starr - 21 Visial Album Roll Out, Central Cee X G SHOCK, Tove Lo & SG Lewis - Let Me Go OH OH. Assiting Credits include Heartstopper S2 and BBC Threes Grime Kids. Website: stafisamaki.com
