Hi, I’m Azharul Islam, a Colorist and Cinematographer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I shape the visual identity of music videos, documentaries, short films, and branded content using node-based color grading in DaVinci Resolve, along with hands-on lighting design and camera work. With more than four years of experience, I’ve built a track record in delivering cohesive storytelling through color, light, and composition. I’m equally comfortable behind the camera as a DoP and in post as a colorist, collaborating with directors to craft emotional tone and visual narrative across multi-platform releases.
