In addition to visual storytelling, I have recorded 442 hours of professional voice recording experience across English, Hindi, and Marathi projects. This experience has strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, consistency, and ability to deliver high-quality audio content while meeting strict project requirements and deadlines. Based in Mumbai, India, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients worldwide. As an international award-winning photographer, I strive to deliver high-quality content that not only meets but exceeds client expectations. I work with advanced tools like the Sony A7C (full-frame camera), DJI Mini 2 (drone), and iPhone 15 to capture stunning visuals. For editing, I’m skilled in software such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects for video editing, as well as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, PicsArt, and Snapseed for photo editing. With my expertise in both visual and audio content creation, along with my commitment to quality, I’m confident I can contribute to the success of your projects.
