Career highlights:

• Recognised widely as one of India’s very few ICVFX-DPs with over 600 days of ICVFX and OSVP experience and counting since early 2023.

• Served as the DoP for the John Deere Virtual Product Launch, 2020; one of India’s earliest ICVFX shoots; shot during the pandemic and live streamed on YouTube.

• Member of the Visual Effects Society (# 7394)

• Two-time recipient of the Epic Games Unreal Engine Fellowships

• Cinematography Mentor for Unreal Engine Women Creators Program

• Designed and developed India’s 1st Virtual Production Training Facility and Curriculum at the Virtual Production Academy by Aptech.

My expertise encompasses blurring the lines between the real and virtual worlds; enhancing both narrative impact and audience engagement as well as combining innovative cinematic aesthetics with the latest filming techniques.

I am expanding into working with animation, games, immersive experiences and inter-disciplinary imaging as well.

I am keen to apply my specialised skills and creative eye to technically complex projects with challenging narratives; working with unconventional storytellers and iconic brands alike.
