Profile details

Rajan Kharel

Cinematographer/(DP)

Rajan Kharel's profile differs from many fiction-focused cinematographers because it extends strongly into documentaries, public-interest films and visual storytelling outside ordinary feature production. His documented record identifies him as a cinematographer and editor, with credits connected to Chitthi, Kuineto, Durgamandu, Gadhimai, Bagmati Civilization, Destination Shey-phoksundo Lake and other documentary or civic projects. His awards record gives the biography clear substance. Kharel has been listed with cinematography honours from Everest Honor Award, MSN Excellency Award, Spiny Babbler International Film Festival and Nepal Short Film Award for projects including Durgamandu, Hamro Sajha Himal, Khahare Pangu and A Hidden Life. The same public record also connects him with Guinness-style recognition and organizational involvement. Kharel's work shows how cinematography can serve more than entertainment. His camera has been attached to environmental, cultural, municipal and documentary subjects, where the image must record place and issue as much as performance. That makes his public profile unusually layered: a cinematographer-editor using technical craft across film, documentary and civic storytelling rather than staying only inside feature-film convention.
