If you ever find yourself on a shoot for a TV commercial then there’s a good chance that the Director of Photography, will be male and white. Deepa Keshvala, one of the UK’s most sought after DOP’s, is neither of these things. And in this brilliantly refreshing and inspiring conversation Deepa gives me her unique take on the creative process.She tells me about her first film, Canned, a documentary about meeting her estranged alcoholic father, and why she had to make Kara, a fictionalized version of the same encounter. We talk about the influence of India on her work, about how best to collaborate with a director, and about her role on the extraordinary BAFTA nominated short Goldfish. And with great dignity Deepa explains why, just a couple of months ago, when faced with unethical behaviour on advertising set she took the bold decision to walk.I loved talking to Deepa. I hope you enjoy listening to her just as much.
