​​​​​​

I’m a New York–based cinematographer, originally from India, with a background in the Indian film industry.

​ 

I work across narrative and commercial projects, adapting my style to whatever the story demands (and occasionally the budget allows).​

 

If you have a story to tell, I’d love to help bring it to life - preferably with good lighting and footage that doesn’t need any fixing in post.

 

I also have experience as a camera operator, 1st AC, loader & key grip, and am available for crew work.

​ 

If you’d like to join my team as crew on future projects, hit me up — I’d love to hear about your skills and interests

(especially if you believe in labeled gear and clean cable wraps).

​ 

Let’s connect!​
