I’m Jayanth Sethu Mathavan. I have completed a cinematography course from Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), Kolkata, India. I have done cinematography for commercial feature length films as well as documentary films. I’m interested in directing and shooting my own documentary films since I’m very passionate about documentary films. I have worked as photo journalist for newspapers before joining film school, so story telling through images have always been very exciting process for me.
