MY STORY

Born and raised in Varanasi, India, Atin Mehra began working behind the camera as a still photographer in 1999. His interest in people, place and visual storytelling gradually led him into filmmaking, cinematography and documentary work.

In 2002, he directed and photographed his first short film, Mitti Ke Jivan (The Cycle of Clay), exploring the life and work of a traditional potter. Since then, his work has grown across documentary, narrative, commercial, music and social-impact storytelling.

Over more than 25 years, Atin has worked across India and the United States, collaborating with filmmakers, artists, nonprofits, brands and communities to create work rooted in observation, human connection and visual storytelling.
