I've studied Film-making from Whistling Woods International with a specialization in Cinematography. I've been working professionally as a freelancer for almost 5 years in Delhi as well as Mumbai. I started working in the Hindi film industry as an apprentice to the leading cinematographer, Mr. KU Mohanan on films like Raees and Jab Harry Met Sejal. I also assisted on a couple of Netflix International Docu-series shot a while back, namely "Sex and Love", hosted by Christianne Amanpour (DOP - Federic Menou) and "Cricket Fever" on IPL Mumbai Indians (DOP - Steve Lidgerwood). Independently, I've been shooting both fiction as well as non-fiction content. To name a few, I've shot a documentary based on the life and works of an Indian Contemporary artist, Bharti Kher, which got screened at the Hauser & Wirth Gallery, Somerset, U. K. I recently got an opportunity to shoot an international docu-series based on unconventional education systems around the world, for which I shot the India-leg. Currently, I'm shooting a docu-fiction on the life and works of a leading Indian contemporary artist, Sudhir Patwardhan which is in its principal photography stage. I'm also interested in lensing commercials, music videos and short films with a brief experience working in them. I also have a keen interest in photography, particularly capturing the changing landscapes of today, vis-a-vis tradions of the past.
