Rishab Chandra’s path to becoming a renowned cinematographer is nothing short of extraordinary. Hailing from Bangalore, India, this young visionary has carved out a niche for himself in the world of filmmaking, working with prestigious brands and renowned artists across the globe. Chandra’s passion for the art of visual storytelling was ignited at a young age when his mother brought home a DSLR camera on a whim. From that moment on, he became inseparable from the device, exploring the depths of wildlife photography until the age of 16.

It was then that a chance encounter with a club promoter propelled Chandra into the world of event cinematography. His work quickly gained recognition, and he soon found himself collaborating with some of the biggest names in the electronic music industry, including Skrillex, Tiesto, KSHMR, and DJ Snake. Chandra’s talent and dedication did not go unnoticed, and by the age of 20, he had already begun touring with renowned artists such as Nikhil Chinappa, Lost Stories, Tyga, Alan Walker, Krewella, Bonobo, and Troyboi, capturing the energy and excitement of music festivals like Sunburn, DGTL, and Ultra.

One of Chandra’s most significant achievements came when he became one of the few Indian filmmakers to have a music video released on Spinnin’ Records, a global record label signed with some of the biggest DJs in the world. The video, “Mantra” by Mariana Bo, showcased Chandra’s ability to seamlessly blend his cinematic vision with the pulsating rhythms of electronic music. But Chandra’s ambitions didn’t stop there. At the age of 23, he ventured into the world of luxury automotive brands, establishing himself as one of the youngest cinematographers in the country to work with prestigious names like Porsche and Lamborghini.

“Chandra’s work with these iconic brands has been a testament to his exceptional skills and creative vision,” says industry experts. “His ability to capture the essence of these luxury vehicles, from their sleek lines to their raw power, is truly remarkable.” Chandra’s journey then took him to Los Angeles, where he spent a year studying at the prestigious New York Film Academy. It was during this time that he began working on numerous short and feature films as a Director of Photography, gaffer, and camera operator.

As Chandra’s journey continues to unfold, his story serves as an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers and cinematographers around the world. With a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep passion for his craft, this remarkable young talent from Bangalore has truly made his mark on the global stage.
