Hi, I'm Shruthi!
I love photography and shoot a wide range of personal work on digital and film.
I am a writer-director, producer, 1st assistant director, and photographer looking to expand my network.
I love meeting new people and telling their stories through video, photo, or the written word. I have gotten into film photography in the last year, and I haven't looked back.
As an Indian-American woman in film, I know how important diversity is in front of and behind the camera. This drive motivates me to do my best work, meet as many new personalities as I can, and use my platform to share their stories.
I have 5+ years of experience in film production and videography. I have worked in several roles including: Executive Producer, Producer, Director, Head Writer, 1st Assistant Director, 2nd Assistant Director, Script Supervisor, Boom Operator, and BTS Photographer.
I would love to connect with you to plan a shoot, or collaborate on a future project!
If you would like to be included as a subject in an upcoming photoshoot, please contact me to discuss scheduling.
Hope to hear from you soon!
