I'm a professional cinematographer with experience in Bollywood movies. I'm excited to make my directorial debut with a web series. Traveling is my passion, and I love exploring new cultures and landscapes for inspiration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a filmmaker deeply inspired by diverse cultures and landscapes, I've found Couchsurfing to be an invaluable resource for connecting with locals and immersing myself in authentic experiences. Through staying with hosts around the world, I not only save on accommodation costs but also gain invaluable insights into local customs, traditions, and hidden gems that often elude traditional tourist paths. Couchsurfing allows me to forge meaningful connections with people from all walks of life, enriching my perspective as both a filmmaker and a global citizen.

Music, Movies, and Books

No specific genre for the movie, I can watch all types of movies irrespective of the language. Strictly NO for books[Prefer experiencing thing on my own and not to read someone's written experiences]. I'm a very choosy about the songs, I like rap music but avoids listening to mumble rap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have visited a whole country for free

Teach, Learn, Share

A seasoned cinematographer with experience across 18+ countries, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. By sharing expertise in visual storytelling and cultural adaptation, I aim to teach aspiring filmmakers. Furthermore, I'm eager to learn from diverse cinematic traditions and collaborate on international projects. This journey of teaching, learning, and sharing fosters cross-cultural understanding and enriches the global film landscape.
