ABOUT
Ace Patel is an Award-winning Fashion and Commercial Photographer and now a critically acclaimed Director of Photography in motion pictures.
His passion for photography grew on him since he was 12 years old. He had his first hands-on experience with a 2.1 MP Casio digital camera which led him to self-teach the fundamentals of composition and lighting techniques. Since then he has grown using various camera systems from Canon & Hasselblad.
In 2016, he decided to take his photography skills into motion pictures and not limit himself to stills. With the hunger of growing every single day, he is now a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Film with Cinematography as his main point of interest.
