Kevin Navis

Vellore, Tamil Nadu

Photographer | Cinematographer
Designer | Photo and Video Editor

Remember drawing these simple landscapes as a kid—mountains, a house, birds, meadows, a river, and a setting sun? It’s a timeless visual narrative we all shared. Visual storytelling is in our DNA, a universal way to express what it means to be human. At the heart of it all are two modern, powerful tools: photography and cinematography.

Kevin Navis, from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, has always been fascinated by visual arts since childhood. For him, visual storytelling is not just a profession but a means of exploring, understanding, and connecting with the world. He creates work that sparks thought, empathy, and curiosity, with visual narratives designed to resonate long after the experience.

Having completed his B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Kevin explored various professions before discovering his true passion for visual arts. He earned a Professional Diploma in Photography and Cinematography from the Creative Hut Institute in 2024-25. In addition, he qualified in the Kerala Government Technical Examination in Photography (KGTE) and became a certified Director of Photography (DOP) under the Media and Entertainment Skill Council (NSQF Level 6).

Kevin has completed both his photography and cinematography portfolios, focusing on the serene hamlet of Manapad in Tamil Nadu. These portfolios showcase his expertise and creative vision. He is now seeking opportunities that foster innovation and inspiration, open to projects that elevate visual storytelling and bring original ideas to life.
