I am Swaroop Sobha Sankar..
I am an ad filmmaker, a fashion photographer for both national and international brands,
a painter, a graphic designer..
I hold 5th position among the LOERIES Official Photographers ranking in 2023..
I served as the cinematographer for Malayalam feature film called "Panthrandu," directed by Leo Thaddeus..
I worked as Art Director at Ogilvy Mumbai, JWT Chennai, and JWT Singapore..
I have :-
- worked as a "Light Boy" with the respected gaffer Mr. Mulchand.
- assisted Indian and international cinematographers.
- dabbled in writing.
- found myself in roles such as an editor, filmmaker, animator, and even a theatre actor alongside the esteemed Neeraj Kabi.
I have worked on more than 50 independent short narrative films and ad films.
I am an art graduate from the renowned Chennai Government College of Fine Arts.
I began my career in advertising. To my surprise, my work earned me 14 national and international awards - including the Cannes Lion and the One Show.
One of my proudest moments was in 2023 when I created a women empowerment campaign called "StainNotShame" for a Kenyan fashion brand. The campaign even had a significant impact on Kenyan society by leading to the incorporation of a new law into the country's constitution, making period shaming a punishable offence. In addition, this campaign won the Cannes Lion.
I have explored the human side of luxury by documenting the world's most skilled tailors - the tailors of Savile Row in London.
Lastly, I have embraced periods of being jobless and pursued a passion for music.
Currently, Mumbai and Palakkad are home.
Dig right in.
And if you like anything. Do pong me a ping.
