Varun Subbiah

Director, Cinematographer

I'm Varun and I work as a Freelance Filmmaker, Cinematographer & Photographer based in India. I'm a Direction Graduate from FTIT Chennai. I've also done a course in Cinematography from Mindscreen Film Institute, Chennai.

I've been fortunate enough to work under some amazing filmmakers & photographers - John Isaac (Chief of UN's Photography Department), S.Nallamuthu (Wildlife filmmaker & my father), Manoj Lobo (Director of Photography), Alphonse Roy (Director of Photography) and a few more, all of whom I consider being my mentors. After finishing my course in cinematography I worked in projects for the UN, National Geographic and BBC. I've even worked as an Assistant Cinematographer in Bollywood, Marathi & Tamil Films.

My aim is to tell good stories. Stories which move people in big or small ways, its always a collaboration of sorts. I see collaboration as expansion and relish working with people who are passionate about what they do. It gives me a chance to evolve & innovate with those around me.

You can find some of my work on this website. Please feel free to contact me regarding enquiries/commissions of any sort.
