His experience includes blue chip landmark filming and sync/actuality across some of the most challenging environments. He has filmed in sub-zero conditions in the Himalayas to the rain-battered forests of the Western Ghats. It is a somewhat perplexing confluence – where the most challenging conditions meet the most fulfilling, joyous experience – a wonder that inspires him to give his camerawork a distinctive style..For over five years, Prakash has taught, inspired and helped hundreds of individuals with a passion for wildlife filmmaking to follow their dreams.
