Sachin Krishn - The director-cinematographer relationship is one beyond a collaboration

"Rakesh, You mentioned the term ‘collaboration’, in the sense of a cinematographer and director relationship; However, I believe, if you define a cinematographer and director’s relationship as a collaboration, it would amount to severely limiting the reality of their relationship. Because their relationship can go go far beyond being a just a ‘collaboration.’ And in the case of Prakash Jha, I have the privilege of having a relationship far beyond a collaboration.

He arrives on set often with quite a rigid frame of mind, and I have to fit the elements of my art, the craftsmanship and techniques of cinematography, into his mould. Now, fitting yourself into your directors scheme of things without much of your own visual interpretation, and yet delivering successfully, believe me when I say this, is very difficult!"
- Cinematographer Sachin Krishn reflects on his director Prakash Jha, in Directors' Diaries.
