Over 2+ years of experience with a strong foundation in both digital and film formats, specializing in branded content, documentaries, and narrative work. I’ve shot projects for Adidas, Factory International, British Cycling, and Fareshare, and recently worked as DoP on a multi-screen film installation exhibited at Factory International.

About me
Born and raised in India and now based in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. My journey into cinematography began with a love for technology and a deep curiosity about how things work. As a teenager, I spent hours tinkering with gadgets, filming tech videos on my dad’s old camera, and editing on his desktop — all for my first YouTube channel. That hands-on, DIY approach sparked something bigger: a growing obsession with cameras, light, and visual storytelling.
What started with experimenting at home quickly evolved into a passion for filmmaking. I began carrying my camera everywhere, capturing everyday moments, watching films with a curious eye, and trying to figure out how scenes were lit and framed. That curiosity became a drive — to learn, to practice, and to create better images with intention and feeling.
Realizing this was more than just a hobby, I began taking on freelance videography gigs to gain experience and grow my skills on real sets. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot for brands like Adidas, Factory International, British Cycling, Fareshare, and Skechers, working across branded content, documentaries, installations, and narrative pieces. From solo shoots to crewed productions, I’ve worn many hats — as a DOP, lighting camera operator, gaffer, and camera assistant.
I currently shoot across both digital and film formats, working with cameras such as the Sony FX6/FX9, Canon C70, and the Lumix S5IIX, while continually pushing myself creatively and technically on every project. I’ve gained experience as a 2nd AC and Camera Trainee on larger productions—including commercials, short films, and music videos—and have developed strong proficiency with high-end camera systems and accessories such as Teradeks, SmallHD monitors, Arri Hi-5, and Tilta Nucleus. I’m also confident in building camera packages for systems like the ARRI Alexa Mini / Mini LF and Sony Venice / Venice 2.
Director of photography, for me, is a lifelong pursuit — of learning, collaboration, and making images that feel honest, cinematic, and alive.
