Hi, I’m Rajiv!
I am a freelance documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and field recordist drawn to stories that connect people, landscapes, wildlife, and the changing natural world.
My work takes me into forests, wetlands, mountains, rivers, coastlines, and remote landscapes—documenting not only what these places look like, but also what they sound like.
Through documentary filmmaking and field recording, I explore the hidden acoustic world of nature: bird calls, insects, amphibians, mammals, flowing water, wind, rain, geological sounds, and the subtle acoustic patterns that reveal the health and diversity of an ecosystem
I am particularly interested in bioacoustics and ecoacoustics, using sound as a way to observe wildlife, understand biodiversity, document environmental change, and support conservation. A landscape has its own acoustic identity, and changes in that soundscape can tell stories that may not be visible to the eye.
