Some frames from a film I shot & directed for @travelandleisureindia & @hyundaiindia featuring my fav @ronnie_and_barty . These gorgeous mountains meant anywhere I pointed the camera was a stunning picture.

Didn’t think I’d be able to be in the same room while AR Rahman, Imtiaz Ali, Mohit Chauhan, and Irshad Kamil talk about music - but here we are. Some frames from a promo I shot for @netflix_in . Gotta get better at sharing my work. @sumedhnatu @esha_naina @sujayreddevil @upsidedownlotus @suchidembla @kalpitdamania @rounak_ameriya.dop @pulkitkochar @dixitfire @wasemansari @gokul1997 @moanwani @dutta_soumik27 @disha.agarwaal @harshitchauhan8728 @pobox28 @briansaldanha21 @chevlynf @profilmmakingbysony_india

Ten decisions shape your life // You’ll be aware of five about Ricoh AD 1 + Lazy 500 D&S - @lazyfilmlab

Good boi.

Gulmarg on film. I’m starting to enjoy analog processes more. Am I getting old? @lazyfilmlab Lazy 500 + Ricoh AD1.

“It just looks like that on the monitor.”

It’s not very often that you get to see a master show off his craft effortlessly in person. Shot this for @netflix_in with the legend @nawazuddin._siddiqui @sumedhnatu @eshnaina @_nazimkhan @sebastian.francis7 @aradhika_aj @wasem_ansari_ac_and_gaffer @gokul_dop @ayye_shivani_ @krishnagada Dharmik Thaker Stuti Khandelwal Niti Solanki Abdul Rahman Khan Post: @eo2_exp

Wrapped up the last shoot of this year yesterday feeling a lot of things. Grateful, hopeful, curious, a bit tired, and I guess - just pretty damn lucky. Not a lot of people get to do what they love with people they like, jet-set around the world, with an ever present mood of “ok this is cool but how do we make this better?” / “what if we turn this idea upside down?” Recently I’ve also been thinking a lot about how privileged I am to be always surrounded by some stellar people on all the sets and projects I’m on - Spots who spoil me, Cam assts. who know what I want when I look in a direction, ACs who say it before I do, Gaffers who fight for a good image, PDs who are patient with my indecision, Stylists/HMU teams who forgive my bad taste, DA/ADs who know how tight or loose the leash really needs to be, DPs who bring some calm to the chaos, Dirs who don’t take themselves too seriously, Producers who care, and the post team who almost always picks up the slack for someone else. Thanks a bunch. For all the good vibes, jokes, laughter, and good hard work even in the midst of all the stress and chaos. Truly privileged to be in your company. I’m pretty stoked to see what 2026 is going to be like. See you on another set soon 🫡

So many trips, so little time.

Rain. She’s here. Photographs by @sidmadethis Even on the day of, in costume, camera ready in hand, we were waiting for her. And then she came. 🌧️
