R. D. Rajasekhar

cinematographer

An Indian cinematographer in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films, who spent about nine years shooting advertisements before his 2001 debut. His signature is subtractive: the bleach-bypass look of Kaakha Kaakha, and the two months he spent de-saturating Ghajini, which won him the Tamil Nadu state award for cinematography.

R. D. Rajasekhar Spent Two Months Taking the Colour Out of Ghajini

Nine years shooting advertisements, then a debut that made him the house eye of a certain kind of Tamil thriller. The washed-out look people remember from Kaakha Kaakha has a name and a chemical process behind it, and the award-winning one after it took two months of deciding what to remove.
