Hi, I’m Garry Kansal, a Vancouver-based Director of Photography and videographer with over 10 years of experience delivering premium interior, exterior, and aerial footage for advertising campaigns, brand films, and corporate projects. I specialize in 4K RAW capture, professional lighting design, and end-to-end shoot management across multi-location productions. I thrive on coordinating with talent and production teams to maintain a consistent visual thread from concept to delivery. Beyond shooting, I love storytelling through image and movement—whether it’s vertical 9x16 content for mobile, or expansive 16x9 campaigns. I enjoy collaborating with directors, agencies, and creative teams to translate storyboard concepts into engaging visuals, while keeping production organized, on schedule, and on-brand. I’m also a certified drone operator, passionate about blending practical lighting with aerial perspectives to elevate brand storytelling.
