I’m Ritvi Shah, a cinematographer with a passion for storytelling and a unique way of seeing the world. I graduated from film school in Pune, India, where I honed my skills in both technical aspects and creative expression. I believe in the power of observation — not just looking, but truly seeing the details that often go unnoticed. This perspective shapes the way I approach every frame and every story I tell.

My journey into cinematography began at a young age when I was inspired by the daring wildlife photographers I saw on shows like *Austin Stevens’ Adventures*. Their fearless pursuit of adventure left a lasting impression, and I realized early on that I wanted to work with cameras. As I grew older, I started writing stories in high school, which eventually led me to discover cinematography as the perfect balance between creativity and technical precision.

With a background in photography and leadership experience in various creative endeavors, I bring a fresh, observant approach to my work. Whether I’m working on independent films or international projects, I’m driven to create meaningful and visually captivating stories. My goal is to continuously learn and expand my perspective while pushing the boundaries of what visual storytelling can achieve.
