Rahul Uppaluri

I am a Hyderabad, India born, LA based cinematographer. I'm a graduate of the film program at ArtCenter College of Design with an emphasis in cinematography. My work as a cinematographer spans narrative films, commercials, and music videos. What I enjoy most about cinematography is the exploration that comes with it; learning more about what I'm shooting and how it can influence my work. In my work I aspire to cover my tracks and be like a chameleon in service of the story.

Outside of set, you can find me engaging with my many hobbies, including photography, cooking, philosophy, and going into Wikipedia rabbit holes.
