Personal Life

[edit]

He pursued his schooling in Visakhapatnam, attending St. Aloysius High School and Pollocks High School. He later graduated with a degree in Biotechnology from Dr. L.B. College.[4] Vamsi was always interested in the arts, particularly photography, which he pursued as a hobby during his college years. He furthered his interest in the visual arts by enrolling in a course in visual effects (VFX) and editing. This training led him to take on freelance work in VFX and editing while completing his education.[5]

Career

[edit]

Vamsi's formal career in the film industry began when he moved to Hyderabad in 2010. His initial experience in cinematography came through assisting well-known Malayalam cinematographer Sabu James for two years. Following this, he worked under cinematographer SK Bhoopathi as an assistant cameraman.[6][7]

In 2012, Vamsi began collaborating with cinematographer Shaneil Deo, which eventually led to his role as an operative cameraman for the film Kshanam (2016). He continued to work with Deo as the second unit DOP for Goodachari (2018).[8][9]

Vamsi made his debut as the lead cinematographer with the thriller Evaru (2019), a film that gained recognition in the Telugu film industry. His later work includes Varudu Kaavelenu (2021) and Major (2022). Major is a biographical film about Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, which was released in multiple languages and was both a critical and commercial success.[10]
