ABOUT

Dipesh Manral is an Indian cinematographer whose work moves between fiction and non-fiction cinema. Shaped by the rigor of documentary filmmaking and a self-taught approach to image making, he is drawn to stories that feel intimate, immersive, and emotionally grounded
 

His cinematography is guided by close observation of light, people, landscapes, and the subtle rhythms that define a place. This sensibility has led him to collaborate on films that have screened internationally, including Rains Don't Make Us Happy Anymore, which premiered at Visions du Réel, Switzerland.

​

Often described as a director's cinematographer, Dipesh values collaboration, trust, and a shared creative vision, bringing a thoughtful and intuitive approach to every project.
