Anand is a cinematographer from India. He has been very fortunate to be a part of some narrative films and documentaries over the six years of his career after completing an undergraduate course in filmmaking. From very early on, his interest in image making started through photography, and slowly the medium shifted to film. He still practices photography individually but more personally, and films are a way to be a part of an experience of coming together of different people working towards a single vision.
