Photographer, DoP, Director and editor
Engineer by education, he chose to make his passion for photography his full-time job.
Anuj Mehta started off as a photographer at The Cuckoo Club and The Hive shooting performances. A year later, after he graduated, he began taking on projects concerning architecture and portrait photography. When he upgraded to a full-frame camera and expanded his work to the video space, it allowed him to document the journey of stand-up comedians and even work on an interview series for a YouTube channel and on-set photography for a comedy special on Netflix.
Recommended by: Aakash Mehta, stand-up comedian, says, "In an industry where it is frustrating to work with people who do things for the sake of doing them, Anuj is a DoP/Editor who cares about how the end product looks, sounds, feels and performs."
