Hi, I’m Akash Satheesh, an Electronics Engineer turned Cinematographer, Creative Director, and Editor based in Bangalore. I swapped circuits for cameras to pursue a lifelong passion for visual storytelling.

As a child, I was inspired by how films could convey emotions and unite people. That curiosity grew over time and led me to explore filmmaking during my B-Tech days. Jumping forward a few years and I was on my way to Bangalore with dreams of making ad films. It was a whole new world to adjust to, and after studying Visual effects and design, I veered into cinematography. While studying, I spent my free time exploring Photography, and short films and experimenting with different storytelling styles, which gradually guided me toward pursuing a career in this creative field.

Over the past nine years, I’ve built a strong body of work and hands-on experience as a creative director and independent filmmaker, working extensively out of Bangalore. My focus has been on creating high-quality ad films, branded content, short films, and corporate videos that balance strong storytelling with clear business intent.


I specialize in commercial cinematography and branded video for agencies, hospitality, luxury retail, and corporate clients.


Currently based in Dubai, I am actively focusing on projects across the UAE and available for on-site shoots, freelance assignments, and retainer roles.
