about me
I am a graduate of digital film production. I have worked on many film sets as camera operator, DOP, gaffer, production design, sound recordist and occasionally acting. I have produced several short films, music videos and 2 documentaries of 30 and 60 minutes. I have some experience as a Steadicam operator but I have not needed to use it since I am shooting with the DJI Ronin 4D.

I own and can effectively operate lighting equipment, camera equipment and accessories (e.g. focus pulling), and sound equipment.

I have nearly 20 years experience working as a photographer mainly in Asia/Africa.

remarks
I think I am good at shot composition and using camera shots as a means for complementing storytelling. I can pull off difficult shots. I think I am also good at lighting a scene for best effect.

I recently worked on a documentary about yoga in Nepal for a client. Another important project I worked on was a documentary about a trans woman in India. Both projects have been a great education for me.
