Namita's photoshoot

So my dear friend Namita wanted a break so she came to Pune to visit me and like old times we turned it into a photoshoot :D Mom became the stylist for the shoot and she made a lovely skirt. I found Dinesh Jagtap as the makeup artist and the hairstylist for my shoot. He did a fabulous job as well. We woke up at 4 am and makeup started at 5.15am..yeah! :D We reached Pashan lake - an amazing location i had never been to before. Everything just came together - the dress, Namita, red soil, lovely pathway and amazing trees! It was very windy though..Nam wasn't as comfortable as she looks..She had goosebumps, it was so cold. But nice fun!

AV for Shyamchi aai foundation

So i shot my first AV for Shyamchi aai foundation. Shyamchi aai foundation is an NGO founded by Sheetal Bapat. They help build the future of lesser fortunate children by mentoring them on a career path of their inclination and investing in their education. This is going to be broadcasted on Nach Baliye, Colors channel on 18th Jan, 2014 where Sheetal Bapat's brother - Raqesh Vashisth (Rakesh Bapat) is performing.

It was an amazing experience working with the team at Neelmudra Entertainment and design. Made some great friends there.
I was the Director, Cinematographer, Editor and Colorist for the project.

Here are some behind the scenes photos which were taken on the last day of the shoot. Those shots were added in last minute so had to arrange all lights that were available in the office. Will post more behind the scenes when i have them
