Sorry, to take up so much of your time,i just wanted to tell as much
as i can about me and my work.The reason behind giving you a full
description of my resume', work experience, equipment and rate card
would be, to save your time, because many a time while shooting
abroad i find that foreign producers are not aware about the indian
work culture, discipline and technology that we Indian DP's are
working in making full use of the latest technology very creatively
in India and abroad. And somewhere now we are suceeding in making
our mark.
Show Reel ( Demo Reel ) is available on request.
I do here by declare that the above statements are true to the best
of my knowledge.
