One of the earliest shoots we did was with the Indo-Canadian standup artist/actor Russell Peters back in 2016, for a web-series 'The Indian Detective'. The shoot was spread across Mumbai for three days, but the preparation time was over three months. We shot in the shanty lanes of Dharavi, the foot-over bridges outside railway stations, scouted the entire city with crew from South Africa with a humungous crew of more than 60 people.

Filming in the most obscure locations is a challenge and when it comes to documentaries or photo-shoots, there is no limit for that. We did a shoot once in 2018 at a dumpyard in Kalyan neighbourhood of Mumbai, the hospitals and clinics of Sion (in Mumbai) and another one in a migrant village of Varanasi. And these projects were clicked by award-winning photographer, Randy Olson. And the result, his photos got featured in a 2019 edition National Geographic magazine.

Documentaries are always fun especially when it has a powerful theme that transcends cultures and beyond. Indian Letters, a dance themed documentary produced by Preeti Vasudevan and directed by Maia Wechsler, was shot at multiple locations - Delhi, Varanasi, Chennai and Jaipur and it revolved around the traditional Indian dance-styles infused with a storytelling medium.

At the time when Covid lockdown was hit, British photographer Jon Enoch waited all throughout for the restrictions to lift, so that he could come down to Mumbai and get his photoshoot done. It was themed around clicking the candymen of Mumbai and we went to various spots in the city, the result of which showed in the final products being awarded at the Observer.

Filming during the Covid lockdown when restrictions were being lifted slowly, was a tricky process. Every film crew had to go through various protocols that helped with the shoot process. We did one shoot in the coastal village of Narsipatnam, in Guntur district and in Visakhapatnam of Andhra Pradesh. The technology that helped in having this shoot achieved was LiveU Box, that gave live feed from the camera to clients sitting in their offices at London, New York and Mumbai.
