# 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.

## Notes from the fandom

R. D. Rajasekhar photographed 26 films in the CinePixo library between 2001 and 2019. Works most often with Anthony — 10 films together here. Start with Ghajini (2005).
