This time on Photosynthesis, we spoke to Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary, a renowned cinematographer who mainly works in New Delhi and Mumbai. He is known for his work on films like "Pyaar Ka Punchnama," "Section 375," Drishyam 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Shershaah, and "Blurr" which earned him the Cinematography Art Award for Best Cinematography in 2023. A gold medalist in Motion Picture Photography from the MGR Government Film and TV Institute of Tamil Nadu, Sudhir has collaborated with top directors like Rajkumar Gupta, Ajay Bahl, Subhash Ghai, and Luv Ranjan. His portfolio includes numerous high-profile commercials for brands like Suzuki, Hero Motocorp, and Colgate, as well as award-winning short films like "Khamakha," Currently, he's filming Ajay Devgan starrer Raid 2.
During the conversation, Sudhir shared how his approach to cinematography has evolved over the years. He reflected on how he started his career with a cautious mindset and gradually began experimenting with new styles and techniques as he gained experience.
He highlighted the importance of choosing the right script, explaining how it determines the visual style of a film. He explained how lighting plays a critical role in creating the mood and atmosphere of a scene, while props can enhance storytelling, especially when building fear or suspense.
Sudhir also discussed the collaborative relationship between the director and cinematographer, emphasizing how they work together to create a cohesive visual narrative and guide the audience’s attention. He spoke about his trusted team, including an associate cinematographer, focus pullers, and a gaffer, and how their expertise contributes to the overall process.
