Camerimage is an internationally renowned festival that concentrates on the art of cinematography. The festival has a reputation for being extremely exclusive in its nomination and is considered on par, if not more prestigious than The Academy Awards by filmmakers around the world. Unlike the Oscars, Camerimage has very specific award categories which proves it's dedication to the art of film making.
In 2010, Ravi K Chandran was the first Indian cinematographer to be nominated for the Golden Frog by EnergaCamerimage for his work in My Name is Khan. The festival has previously invited the likes of Darren Aronofsky, Roger Deakins, Ralph Fiennes and more.
