I’m a freelance cinematographer/photographer, video editor and Artist Illustrator based out of Delhi.
Over a career of more than 2 decades in filmmaking, I entered the industry as a producer, switching to work as a freelance Editor and Cinematographer and continue to do so.
As a cinematographer I’ve shot several documentaries (award winning and otherwise) as DoP and four Bollywood feature films as Second Unit DoP/Associate Cinematographer, one of which won the Filmfare Award for best Cinematography.
In 2016 I was awarded the Guild of Television Cameramen Cinematography Award (UK) 2016 for Best Cinematography (Additional) for the BBC4 film ‘Last Train in Nepal’. I have had shot several other award winning and critically acclaimed films.
Yeh Freedom Life, a documentary shot by me and directed by Priya Sen has been winning hearts at festivals internationally. It won the Inaugural Gender Sensitivity Award at DIFF, Dharamshala, was first screened at The Kitchen, NYC and travelled to BFI, London Film Festival and continues to foster debates.
As a Video Editor I have edited shows for BBC, NGC and MTV. Currently, I have expanded my editing portfolio into music videos, video art pieces, corporate videos and Brand commercials for brands such as Armani Exchange.
Illustration is what I do to unwind and revamp my creative energies.
