Beginning his career as a photographer, Abdi established his own unique visual language in the fashion world, shooting portraits and campaigns for editorials. Since then, he has gone on to direct commercials and music videos, stapling himself as a filmmaker.

Abdi debuted his filmmaking career with a short documentary for Apple Music, and has since gone on to collaborate with Lacoste, the NFL, Subaru, and more. His photo work has also been featured in publications, such as the New Yorker, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and Esquire.
