About

I am a cinematographer and Director of Photography trained at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute in Kolkata. My work spans short films, independent cinema, advertisements, branded content, and narrative visual storytelling. I enjoy creating emotionally driven images through naturalistic lighting, thoughtful composition, and a strong sense of cinematic atmosphere.

I am comfortable working in controlled studio settings as well as challenging real-world locations, collaborating closely with directors and production teams to bring a visual concept to life. Alongside cinematography, I have experience with camera operation, lighting, movement, visual execution, and freelance production, and I am always excited to contribute to meaningful and visually engaging projects.
