BIOGRAPHY
NIHAAL SHAH
As an aspiring Director of Photography, I have been involved in the field of filmmaking for over eight years. I began my journey as an intern at Flying Saucer Pictures, where I worked as an Assistant Director on commercials for brands such as Gionee and PayTM. My passion for cinema led me to pursue a specialization in Mass Media at FLAME University, where I graduated with a deepened understanding of the craft. To further refine my skills, I attended the International Film School of Paris, where I focused on the technical and creative aspects of cinematography.
Upon returning to India, I worked as a Cinematographer and First Assistant Cameraman on various projects, including web series, feature films, documentaries, and commercials. I have had the privilege of collaborating with filmmakers from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, often working with both small and large film crews. Through assisting numerous Directors of Photography, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of cinematography, which enables me to make informed and swift creative decisions on set.
As I continue to develop my personal style in cinematography, I am open to collaborating with others, regardless of the project's scale or nature. I welcome opportunities to contribute my skills and grow further within the filmmaking industry, and I encourage anyone in need of assistance to reach out.
