I am a self-taught Photographer and award-winning cinematographer with a unique journey, graduating in chemical engineering before teaching myself photography, videography, and color grading. I currently hold a postgraduate degree in cinematography from one of the most prestigious film schools in the country i.e. Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata, where I have worked on several award-winning short films. One of them, The Monkey That Tried to Tame an Oxygen Bomb, which I shot, has won an award at the Cinerama Film Festival, in India. I have also won a national recognition award at IFFI Goa, 2021 as “Creative Minds of Tomorrow”.

My artistic vision is shaped by my diverse experiences and my commitment to inclusive collaboration. As a 21st-century cinematographer, I aspire to challenge the conventional modes of visual storytelling by working across different forms, genres, and media. I am passionate about creating authentic and innovative narratives that address issues such as social justice, emotional awareness, and stories of righteousness.

My goal is to remain at the cutting edge of visual storytelling advancements. I believe in the power of teamwork and communication to achieve the best results in cinematography. Understanding the mood and treatment of a script, communicating and ensuring my vision is in sync with that of the director, aligning my skills such that it complements other departments like set design and make-up, and lastly leading my camera crew in a way that everyone from an assistant to a gaffer to an electrician participates in the process of making the film.

My philosophy is that introducing fresh perspectives and new techniques allows films to evolve and grow. Observation, inspiration, and determination are my foundation for success.
