Hi, I’m Shantanu Singh, a 3D Generalist and Lighting Artist based in Pune, India. I craft cinematic lighting, composition, and storytelling to bring ideas to life from concept to final render, with a strong foundation in modeling, texturing, materials, and rendering. I’m adept at optimizing assets for real-time and offline pipelines, collaborating across disciplines, and iterating efficiently to meet production requirements for indie studios, internships, and freelance projects. I love color theory and mood creation to support visual narrative.
