Discover the journey of an award-winning cinematographer.

Let me share the story of my journey into the world of cinema. Born on 1st June 1975 in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, I found myself at odds with my family’s lack of enthusiasm for my love of cinema. As a young student in my 10th grade, I discovered my passion for cinematography and directing, although my family initially didn’t share the same enthusiasm for my love of movies. Despite their reservations, my passion for the art of visual storytelling continued to grow silently within me. It was during this time that two remarkable movies, Parinda and Raakh, left a lasting impression on me. These cinematic masterpieces not only entertained but also deeply inspired me. They ignited a fire in my soul, fueling my desire to explore the enchanting realm of filmmaking from behind the camera.
Driven by this newfound passion, I made the bold decision to pursue a career in cinema as a cinematographer and director. This decision wasn’t without its challenges, especially as I sought to reconcile my aspirations with my family’s initial doubts. However, with time, patience, and perseverance, I gained their support and embarked on my cinematic journey with renewed determination.
