About
My aim is to shoot films that outlive the campaign they were made for — frames that still hold up long after the release has come and gone
Filmmaking is where a brief becomes something worth watching
About
I make films for brands, studios and people who need a story to land fast and stay with you
My work runs across commercials, Netflix series promos, and the behind-the-scenes films that document them. Some days that's a cinema camera and a full crew on a set; other days it's an iPhone and a single take, because the moment moved faster than a setup would allow. Both are the job.
I've shot for streaming titles and fashion houses alike — Netflix releases, campaign films, product work, and the vertical content that carries them into a feed. What stays constant is the eye: classic coverage, graded to feel considered rather than loud.
Light, movement, and the quiet half-second before someone speaks are what I keep coming back to.

FAQ
Classic coverage with an editorial eye. I shoot for the moment as it actually happens, then grade it so it still reads as considered years later — never so styled that it dates with the trend it was shot in.
Calm, and largely invisible. I work fast, stay out of the first unit's way, and read the room rather than direct it. On brand shoots I'll happily get more involved — blocking, framing, working with talent — whatever the day needs.
I'm based in India and travel for work — domestic shoots regularly and international on request. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately and always spelled out up front, never buried in the final invoice.
Yes, and a lot of it. Some of it is shot on an iPhone, deliberately — when the moment moves faster than a setup would allow, the phone is the right camera. It's cut native to the platform rather than cropped down from a landscape master.
A graded master plus every ratio the release needs — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 — so the same film works on a streaming platform, a press page, and a feed. A first cut usually lands within a week; full delivery depends on the scope, and I'll give you a date before we start.
Send me the brief — dates, format, and where the film will live. If it's a fit I'll come back with an approach and a quote. Email is quickest.
