I have been working as a cinematographer since 2017. ​I try to lead with a sense of empathy and humour (because honestly, what’s life without it?). I also believe both are essential to good storytelling.​ Over the years, I’ve been lucky to work on projects that found both creative fulfilment and recognition.

During this time, I have worked in the capacity of DoP on various television and digital commercials, short films, music videos, corporate films etc. for brands like Facebook/Meta, RedMi, Nestle, USPA, Amazon Prime, Vodafone, Skillshare, Asics, McDonalds, Royal Enfield, Pidilite, Cadbury, Aditya Birla Group, The Better India, Carat Lane, Hersheys, Mahindra Lifespaces, Kingfisher and more.

 

Besides this I have also directed ads and advertorials for brands like RedMi, USPA, Maggi, Vodafone, Top Gear, Enrich, Cipla, Facebook X MARD among others. The Facebook X MARD digital case study that was done for Facebook Creative Shop Singapore, centred around domestic abuse titled ’Boomewrong’ went on to win Bronze at both Ad Stars and Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity.

 

My short film as a DoP titled ‘7 Star Dinosor Entertainment’ earned me a nomination for best cinematography in the short film category at the Critic’s Choice Awards in 2023. The film itself went on to win many awards in its festival journey including the Audience choice award at IFFLA.

 

With my design background, and some early experience with production design, I appreciate how nuanced an audio-visual experience can get by what you see in each frame. And that is how I like to tell stories. Frame by meticulously - crafted frame.

Alongside my film work, I also share my photography here; a slower practice where I get to explore composition, emotion, and stillness in a different way.

Love and light.
