What do I bring to the table? A zeal and love for photography and storytelling, years of experience with various formats and editing tools, commitment to give my best and see the project through. As someone who strives for perfection in everything, I apply the same for every frame I work with. So, rest assured you get the best version of every scene.
We all have that one thing that we were fascinated as a child with, some of us grow out of it and some of us, like me, grow into it. From the moment I watched my first movie as a wide-eyed kid, I was hooked. The magic of the silver screen captured my heart and ignited a lifelong love affair with movies. Storytelling as a medium of art, be it visual or written, has been my area of interest for as long as I can remember.
Being the curious cat that I am, I didn’t walk the straight path into filmmaking or editing. Armed with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, I was honing my skill as a visual storyteller on the side. I was drawn to photojournalism amidst all of this and decided to enrol in Udaan School of Photography. It is during this course and my time in Bombay that I was convinced that this was my calling as a profession, and the course and its rigour urged me to sharpen my skills.
Right after in 2017, I landed my first gig as an editor with Neil Productions. Talk about an adrenaline rush! I covered a plethora of sports like surfing, kayaking, wall climbing, and cycling. But my role didn't stop at the editing desk. I took to the skies, harnessing the art of aerial cinematography to bring a fresh perspective to the screen.
I embarked on a freelance journey in 2018 as I wanted to delve into various genres and collaborate with artists from all walks of life. It was during this time that I worked with Sugar Shot Films. Together, we crafted many marketing campaign films, digital advertisements, and corporate profile videos and music videos.
As I continue my journey in editing, I'm eager to diversify my portfolio and reunite with my childhood love of cinema. I believe in the power of storytelling and its ability to connect, inspire, and entertain.
