Director of Photography — available for production in Dubai and Kochi
Currently accepting projects from July 2026. Enquire early for pre-production scheduling.
Two markets, one DP. In Dubai, I work with brands, production companies, and Gulf-based clients on corporate films, product launches, and employer branding content. In Kochi, I work with directors, producers, and production houses on Malayalam cinema, OTT, and independent narrative projects. Both markets are served from the same kit, the same grade suite, and the same discipline behind the camera.
Film & Narrative
For directors and producers
I am a CUMAC Associate Cinematographer, formally credentialed under the Cinematographers’ Union of Malayalam Cinema, affiliated to FEFKA and AIFEC. That credential is a requirement for working on union productions in the Malayalam film industry — and a signal, for independent directors, of the level of craft and collaboration you can expect on set.
- Malayalam feature and short films
- OTT series and anthology episodes
- Music videos with a cinematic treatment
- Indie and experimental narrative projects
- Festival shorts and debut features
Corporate & Brand
For marketing heads, brand teams, and production companies
I am the founder of LowLightKing Productions, a corporate video production company based in Kochi. I shoot and direct brand films, product demos, and employer branding content for B2B and technology companies — drawing on two decades of commercial sector experience in telecom, fintech, and electronics. I know what a brief looks like from the client side.
- Brand and corporate films
- Product and technology demos
- Employer branding and culture videos
- Event and launch films
- Training and onboarding content
Remote workflow
If you are based in Dubai and need production in Kerala — or the reverse — the workflow is built for it. I collaborate remotely through DaVinci Resolve Cloud Collaboration and Frame.io, which means you can review dailies, request changes, and sign off on grades from anywhere. No expensive location trips required for post.
I shoot primarily on Sony cinema cameras (FX9, A7 III) and grade in DaVinci Resolve with Dehancer and FilmConvert Nitrate. Full kit list at /kit/.
Rates & enquiry
Day rates vary by project type, duration, and location. Corporate and brand projects are typically quoted as packages. Film projects follow CUMAC rate structures for union productions; independently negotiated for non-union work. Bring your brief. The earlier you reach out, the more useful I can be in pre-production.

No commitment. Bring your script, treatment, or brief — or just the idea.
Based between Dubai and Kochi. Available to travel across Kerala and the UAE. International projects considered.
