About Me
Cinematographer, Visual Storyteller
Saumitra Yadnyopavit, a freelance cinematographer proudly based in the vibrant cities of Mumbai/Pune, India. Graduating from Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), he's been on a journey of capturing life's moments through his lens. From the hustle of commercials to the depth of documentaries and the magic of feature films, his passion for storytelling shines through in every project.
Saumitra's love for filmmaking began in his mid-teens, where he explored the art of crafting narratives through short films and non-fiction pieces. Prior to his cinematography studies, he delved into Psychology, adding layers of understanding to his work behind the camera.
When not immersed in the world of cinematography, Saumitra enjoys expanding his creative horizons, dabbling in street photography, graphic design, and even experimenting with voice modulations. He believes in the power of collaboration and a holistic approach to storytelling, striving to create work that resonates deeply with audiences.
Having had the privilege of collaborating with inspiring individuals and creative minds along the way, Saumitra cherishes the synergy that comes from working together to create something truly remarkable.
"As a Psychology student, I seek to explore human emotions & portray them with all sorts of lensing & lighting techniques to capture and enhance their depth.
I am a strong believer in visual storytelling and I venture towards bringing something more out of the frame than what is actually seen. Along with a beautiful frame, I aim to confer a sense of purpose to every camera movement, composition and lighting"
