Riju Samanta
Director of Photography [WICA]
Cinematography is more than a technique, its equally an art to capture what incites a story within you. Therefore it is not something I produce, it’s something that produces a change in me. I have grown up being fascinated with visuals be it still or motion. When you see my work, I think you’ll agree.
