Showreel

Seventeen short films — fashion, brand and landscape work from across Sri Lanka. Tap any tile to play. Commercial campaigns for leading brands — much of this work stays confidential under NDA.

Approach

Every frame should serve a purpose — every story deserves to be told.

I'm a cinematographer and photographer working across all of Sri Lanka — blending emotion, light and composition to turn fashion campaigns and coastlines into cinematic stories.

About Ranul Vindula

I'm Ranul Vindula — photographer, cinematographer and founder of Ranul Vindula Photography. Since 2016 I've shot fashion, landscapes and commercial work across Sri Lanka — from the coast to the hill country.

Every frame should serve a purpose, and every story deserves to be told with care. I plan each shoot end-to-end, direct on set and edit personally — so what you receive feels cinematic, coherent and true to your brand. Available for commissions across Sri Lanka and worldwide.

Questions

FAQ — Booking a Shoot in Sri Lanka

How far in advance should I book a photo or video shoot?

For fashion campaigns and larger productions, 2–3 weeks ahead is ideal so locations, permissions and crew can be planned. Portrait and landscape sessions can often happen within a few days. December–March is peak season — book earlier.

Do you travel across Sri Lanka for shoots?

Yes — shoots regularly cover the whole island: the coast, the cities and the hill country. Travel within Sri Lanka is easy to arrange and is quoted with the project; I'm also available for destination work worldwide.

Do you offer drone photography, and who handles the permits?

Yes — drone photography and aerial video are part of most landscape and commercial shoots. I fly within Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka rules and arrange site permissions during pre-production.

How much does a shoot cost in Sri Lanka?

Every project is quoted individually — the price depends on scope, locations, crew and deliverables. Send a few lines about your idea and you'll get a clear quote and available dates.
