Recommendations
Unni is one of the best cinematographers I have worked with. He had a great creative vision and delivered exactly what my vision was on DNA in record time. I would definitely work with him again and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone.

Graduated from the same school of film and design, Unni and I go way back and worked on multiple projects. I have never seen someone with so much passion for his work. He always tries to match with the leading icons of the industry and that puts him in a different league altogether.
Keeping oneself educated and updated with industry is the key to the kind of work we do. Unni never stops learning and always keeps himself up to date with the rest of the world.
Technically sound and brilliant visual sense, these words are best to describe Unni.
He is the person I always reach out for any of my creative jobs and I highly recommend him.
