About 

He is an alumnus of the London Film School and has shot both narrative and commercial projects across Europe and India. Alongside this, he continues to work as a gaffer on select productions across Europe and the Middle East to stay closely connected to lighting on set.

​

He learned cinematography through celluloid film, starting with 8mm and 16mm, moving on to 35mm, and later working across digital formats including large-format systems. This background has shaped a disciplined approach to lighting, exposure, and preparation, with a strong belief that good work is built before stepping on set.

​

Swarnim enjoys working under pressure and is particularly drawn to commercial shoots where time, clarity, and decision-making matter. His narrative work focuses on emotionally driven stories and moral tension, and his process is collaborative, practical, and detail-led.

Most of his recent films are currently on the festival circuit and cannot yet be shared publicly. Outside of work, he enjoys bouldering, basketball, and padel.
