Be the light of hope !
Riding for peace, exploring nature, and giving voice to those who cannot move.
Athlete • DoP • Explorer!
My journey began with a vision to see the world differently and to help others see it too. Since 2004, I have worked as an independent Director of Photography (DoP).
Behind the camera, I learned to capture the raw beauty of human emotion, the breathtaking landscapes of nature, and the stories that connect us all.
But my passion didn't stop behind the lens. As an athlete, hiker, and world cyclist, I realized that the physical world offered another powerful canvas: the road itself.
I am Paul Jamil Imad a proud Lebanese athlete driven by a simple yet profound mission: to carry the true spirit of Lebanon to every corner of the earth.
Lebanon is a land of resilience, culture, and love. Far beyond political, religious, or sectarian divides, my goal is to show the world our shared humanity through sports, endurance, and outdoor exploration. Every pedal stroke, mountain trail, and cross-border expedition is a message of peace, openness, and connection.
What started as a personal passion grew into a movement. In Lebanon, I founded Darrajoune (دراجون), a vibrant community of cycling enthusiasts where we explore undiscovered regions of our homeland, revealing its natural beauty like never before.
From those local roots, my wheels have carried me across thousands of kilometers and through more than 12 nations including Syria, Jordan, Qatar, Cyprus, Spain, Armenia, France, Norway, Turkey, Italy, and Vatican City.
Among these milestones was my 1,200 km Italian expedition from north to south, carrying a vital environmental message that was delivered directly to the Vatican . On every journey, whether meeting local citizens or connecting with the Lebanese diaspora, I ride to prove that sports can bridge any culture.
The journey is only just beginning. As I prepare for upcoming expeditions across Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Portugal, I am also taking this message to the next generation. Through educational lectures in schools and community centers, I aim to inspire young minds about the life-changing power of cycling, health, and living actively.
Whether on two wheels, hiking rugged peaks, capturing nature through my camera, or building a global network of sports lovers, my purpose remains clear: to put hope on the map, starting from Lebanon and reaching the entire world.
