G.K. Vishnu
- Cinematographer
- Camera and Electrical Department
Basically a Computer Science Engineer, Vishnu started his career doing designs and graphics freelancing. His curiosity towards lights persuaded him to experiment photography for sometime. This kindled interest in him to do cinematography. His affiliation with director Atlee in his early days helped him set his foot into Tamil Cinema industry when he started assisting DOP Richard Nathan followed by legendary PS Vinod. Vishnu's association with PutChutney helped him gain more visibility to his work as a cinematographer. Among many of his wonderful contributions Ctrl-Alt-Del stood prominent. It was the first of its kind work. His attention to details, choice of colors, frames and in general craftsmanship brought him lots of laurels and more importantly the opportunity to start his career as a cinematographer through Mersal. Mersal is a Tamil movie with so many big names associated to it, starting from Actor Vijay to Music Director Oscar man AR Rahman to Director Atlee. Vishnu is the only newbie but it is tough to believe that after seeing his work.
