About

Nirali Naik is a Cinematographer and Photographer; currently based in Mumbai, India. Nirali developed her interest in photography while still at university studying mass media, which soon turned into a profession. Heavily influenced by cinema and cinematography, her photographs explored vibrant colours, moods, and symmetry in quotidian life. Her varying and collective experiences from documenting stories to educate teenage girls across rural India to travel across Western Europe creating content have helped hone her skills as a story-teller. After working with multiple DOP's such as Pratik Shah, Harshvir Oberai, Will Humphris, Sylvester Fonseca on some of the biggest series (Jubilee, Choona), films (Kathal, Chakda Xpress, CTRL) and commercials in India she has now herself taken the mantle and often works as a Director of Photography in Mumbai, India. She has shot documentaries and commercials as a DP so far and is looking to collaborate with more Writers and Directors on short formats projects.
