Visual storytelling has always been the beating heart that drives Gautam Dhimal's professional career; and also, his life.

Primarily, working as producer and line producer for films while lending his photography skills for fashion, advertising and nature and wildlife, Gautam blends his sense of humanity with his love for nature and travel.

He has conjointly worked with numerous local and international production teams. Some of the acclaimed international studios that he has collaborated are BBC One, FOX, and Disney along with global brands like Red Bull, Nestea, Coca Cola, Panasonic, Vicks, Nippon Paint, Samsonite, Doosan, Kellogg's and many others.

Gautam maintains that the key to his success is to simply see life as a fun adventure and that we must make the most of it. When he is not on the lot filming with his crew or in a studio, lighting and snapping away fashion photos, he spends most of his time in the wild outdoors - shooting rare footage and pictures of animals, plants, flowers, insects, reptiles and birds to accelerate his experience and portfolio. Exploration has always been a passionate hobby for Gautam - who believes that the further you explore outside your small bubble, the humbler you will get and the more appreciative you will be of the unknown wonders around you.

Film maker and photographer Gautam Dhimal is based in Kathmandu, Nepal as well as Dubai, UAE and is always ready to take on assignments anywhere in the world.
