About

Akshay Kathe on set, behind a Canon cinema camera

I never imagined I'd find myself behind a camera. What began as a college assignment, a short film that unexpectedly pulled me in, became something I hadn't realised I was searching for.

My journey started at an advertising agency, immersed in every stage of production while teaching myself through countless hours of experimenting with cameras, edits, and light.

In 2024, that work won the MARTECH Award for Best Brand Marketing Campaign, built on creativity, craft, and collaboration in equal parts.

I stay closely involved from concept to final frame, so the work stays cohesive, intentional, and true to the original vision.

Photography remains a parallel passion. The strongest visuals aren't just beautiful, they make people feel something.

If you're looking for a filmmaker who brings creative vision and production discipline to every project, let's talk.
