I shoot it, I cut it, I grade it — one person from the first frame to the finished file.

Kerala originally, Jeddah for work. Mostly events — film festivals, tournaments, launches — plus fashion editorial and behind-the-scenes coverage on other people's productions. Video and stills both.

It started with my own Instagram, and that's still how I cut: people leave in the first two seconds, so the best thing goes at the front.

For a few brands back home I do the whole thing — shoot it, cut it, and run the feed itself. Being the one who posts it rather than the one who hands over files changes what you shoot in the first place.

Most days it's just me and the camera. When a job needs more hands I bring in people I've worked with before. I take edit-only work too — someone else's rushes, a landscape cut that needs vertical versions, a set of photos that needs to look like one set.
