About this collection

Shooting in the Western Ghats is never just about clear skies. When I plan a shoot here, I prepare for sudden fog and moisture, which is why I use specialized weather-resistant equipment for these damp, high-altitude conditions. If you want this moody, atmospheric look for your project, we need to time it around the light, not just the calendar.

The Malnad region is temperamental. Whether it's the steep curves of Charmadi Ghat or the deep, green valleys of Kudremukh, the light changes in minutes. My approach to these mountains is to embrace this unpredictability. I do not wait for the perfect sunny day because the soul of these hills lies in the monsoon clouds and the rolling mist.

For my drone projects in this belt, I focus on capturing the scale. I look for the tiny roads carving through massive forests, and the way the rain transforms the terrain into vibrant shades of green. My gear handles the mist and the high-altitude winds of Chikkamagaluru, ensuring your footage remains smooth regardless of the dampness. I have spent years learning when to fly and when to simply watch the clouds, which helps in getting those cinematic shots that feel vast and isolated.
