Growing up in Mumbai it’s hardly surprising to say that cinema has always been an integral part of Yash’s life. But it wasn’t up until 8th grade, after being handed an old Nikon by his father that Yash began to look at life through the enthralling gaze of a viewfinder. He soon spent much of his time capturing the world around him and acquainting himself with the art of visual storytelling.
After graduating in Mass Media, he enrolled at L. V. Prasad Film and TV Academy where he cultivated a deep understanding of cinematography and filmmaking, while devouring a wide range of world cinema. On completing his degree, Yash began assisting and building a rather extensive repertoire under the guidance of cinematographer Siddharth Diwan, ISC. Working with him on over 300 commercials and feature films such as Bulbbul (2020), Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022), Qala (2022) and Despatch. This deeply shaped his career and visual approach.
In recent times, Yash has been lending his vision alongside like-minded storytellers to create his unique take on cinema.
