1 I'm a freelance photographer based in Colombo, with 2 true loves; animals and photography. My interest in photography started a few years back when I'd use my uncle's camera on trips. That led me to shooting a lot of travel related work over the years and eventually got me shooting in the fashion industry. It took a turn I didn't quite see coming, but I haven't regretted it once since then!

2 This year, my goal is to venture out a bit more and try new things, one being film making and the CFW fashion films is a great opportunity to do that as well, as it allows you to be experimental and gives you that creative freedom!

3 I'm yet to find it! I can never say what my signature style is as it changes all the time and varies according to the concept I'm shooting.

4 La Pard- The natural, earthy tones used in this collection is what inspired me initially. And in keeping with this, we wanted to create a film that takes a traditional craft and turn it into high fashion.

Jai by Aashkii- The brand's overall vivaciousness in itself is inspiring, with bold prints and colours, it allows any artiste to be creative and experiment with different styles of film making.

5 La Pard- With the heat in Colombo on our minds all the time, our film will be a sort of afternoon daydream shot during the golden hour, to play well with the earthy tones of the collection.

Jai by Aashkii - We're playing with colour in this film and incorporating a few natural local elements in contrast to the element of water as well, inspired by this collection.

6 I used an iphone X to shoot both films.
