ABOUT ME

'm a former engineer turned filmmaker, always drawn to storytelling.  Visualizing ideas has always come more naturally to me than expressing them in words alone.

Photography became my means of preserving experiences, delving into the art of observation to capture finer details. Yet, a single frame felt limiting; sound and motion breathed life into my visuals. Learning video editing allowed me to craft narratives from these images, with colour grading adding depth to mood.

My journey at NID revealed that filmmaking isn't just storytelling; it's a technical art. I've gravitated towards cinematography and colour-grading, striving to create frames that encapsulate stories with the perfect interplay of light and colour.
