About Me
I am a freelance cinematographer / director of photography based in Mumbai, working across fiction, documentary, experimental, and commercial projects. My training spans India, Europe, and the United States. In India, I had the opportunity to learn under renowned cinematographers Anil Mehta, Setu, and Anay Goswami, all members of the Indian Society of Cinematographers. In Prague, I studied with legendary Czech cinematographers Vladimir Smutný and Jaroslav Brabec, and in the US, I trained under members of the American Society of Cinematographers, including Wally Pfister, Linus Sandgren, Edu Grau, Autumn Durald, and James Friend.
I work across both 16/35mm film and digital cinematography, with a focus on cinematic storytelling — shaping emotion through light, rhythm, and camera language. Drawing inspiration from painting and music, I explore texture, harmony, and feeling in every frame.
Alongside my freelance cinematography, I also pursue independent filmmaking, balancing collaborations with personal projects. My aim is to create visuals that not only tell stories but also leave a meaningful mark on contemporary cinematography.
