Chronolens is an independent studio based in Udaipur. From the first conversation to the final cut, you work directly with me — no agencies, no middlemen, no work passed down a chain.
SERVICE 01 / 4:5
[ Photography — sample frame ]
I make photographs meant to be printed, framed and kept — not consumed once and forgotten.
SERVICE 02 / 4:5
[ Cinematography — sample still ]
Cinema-led storytelling, paced patiently. Films built to hold up beyond a first watch.
SERVICE 03 / 4:5
[ Production — on set ]
The unseen half of the work. Planning, locations, permits, logistics — handled so the shoot day actually feels like one.
SERVICE 04 / 4:5
[ Color suite — calibrated ]
Editing is where a film actually becomes a film. I finish what I shoot — and I finish work shot elsewhere too.
Yes — most of my work happens elsewhere. I've shot across Rajasthan, Goa, Kerala, Delhi and Mumbai, and travel pan-India for the right brief. Travel and stay are billed at actuals, no markup.
Absolutely. Around a third of my edit work is finishing footage shot by other teams. Same for photo retouching and color. Send the rushes and a reference deck, and we'll talk.
A studio fee for the craft, plus a transparent line-itemed budget for crew, kit and travel. You see every cost; nothing is hidden. GST is applicable on all invoices.
Photography turnaround — 2 to 3 weeks. A wedding film — 6 to 10 weeks. A brand film — 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff. I don't take work I can't deliver well.
You own all delivered files outright. I retain a non-exclusive right to use the work in my portfolio and reel. Raw footage delivery can be arranged on request.
You work directly with me. For larger productions I bring in a small team of trusted collaborators — never anonymous freelancers, never offshored edits.
Yes — 30% to lock the date, 40% before the shoot, 30% on final delivery. GST applies on all invoices. Dates aren't held without an advance.
