His textural and experimental work finds new ways of exploring visual storytelling, always with a human story at its core.

Not shy to explore sensitive narratives, Salomon is a vibrant filmmaker who brings sincerity, authenticity, truth.

Being drawn to interesting characters, loving work that has an heartbreak.

He goes into emotional territories and makes the ordinary extraordinary.

Authentic narratives which resonate with cinematic craft.

His work has garnered recognition across the world, with inclusion in both the Saatchi & Saatchi and 1.4 New Directors Showcases, two Golds and three Silvers at the YDAs, shortlist for online commercial of the year over 2 minutes for Audi at Shots, shortlists for Music Video of the Year at Shots, Best Alternative Video and Best New Director at the UKMVA’s, and a music video shortlist at Ciclope.
