About me

I have been working in Indian motion picture industry for last 13 years after completing the cinematography course in Chennai from the prestigiuos Mindscreen Film Institute founded by acclaimed DOP and Director Rajiv Menon. I started my career in the bengali film industry as Associate Cinematographer(AC) and slowly moved to be an independent Cinematographer.
I have worked across various platforms and medium consist of regional bengali films, tv serials, commercials and reality shows as AC and Camera Operator, latter I had the exposure to work as camera crew and assistant gaffer in few international movies and tv shows from France, Canada and Australia which were shot in India.

As an independent DOP I have shot documentary films which were selected in international film festivals as well as corporate films and promotional videos for brands such as Tata Steel and Walmart Labs.
Along working with corporate brands and fiction projects I am always eager to collaborate and work with organisations/ studios/artists and directors who have fresh ideas and want to shoot projects on social change, climate awareness, sustainable development, historical archaivation and Nature conservation.
I also started writing my own fiction novel which is going to release latter part of this year and share interest in doing illustration for cover pages and posters.
