Having been on projects in various parts of the world, he not only has experience but is comfortable dealing with international teams especially in UK, South America, Thailand and Europe.
Inspired by the likes of Janusz Kaminski, Emmanuelle Lubezki, VK Murthy, Binod Pradhan; Nachiket's camerawork is ripe with well composed ultra wide angle frames with varying contrast in lighting that sets the required mood for the given project. He also works extensively with natural light and has been developing a 'flexible and fast' way of cinematography. Nachiket does not set a standard style to his images, but rather lets the script and the story dictate what the cinematography should be. He is extremely flexible and is very collaborative when it comes to working with the director, producer and other members of the team.
Nachiket has worked on and is comfortable shooting on any modern camera system and can shoot on 35mm and 16mm film cameras as well.
Having travelled to 39 countries in the world, he has collected a varied worldview which helps him understand storytelling better. He is an avid wildlife filmmaker and is not afraid to go into gruelling or otherwise dangerous locations; he is also a certified Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver.
