Chronicling cultures
Not a professionally trained person and unperturbed by the struggles and travails in his life, documentary maker Dinakaran Jai has learnt and refined his skills on his own
PRODUCER'S TAKE
This dusky young man's sunny smile is quite infectious. Even after two hours of gruelling photo shoot in open fields with the sun beating down, he retains his cheerfulness.
