About

Hi, I’m Suresh Chandra Kerketta, a freelance cinematographer and filmmaker based in Paris with over a decade of audio-visual experience. I specialize in videography and photography, and I’ve worked on shorts, documentaries, promotional films, weddings, and various photography projects. I love crafting visual stories and collaborating with directors and teams to create compelling imagery.

I’m comfortable wearing multiple hats—camera operator, director of photography, editor, and color grader. I’ve shot projects from India to France, using tools like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Blackmagic color grading to bring ideas to life, and I run an independent production practice that delivers creative content for clients and personal projects.
