Subrata Mitra - Ramachandra Babu ISC looks on.
" Just as Ray helped to create a new identity for Indian Cinema, so Mitra revolutionized prevailing aesthetics in Indian cinematography with innovations designed to make light in film both more realistic and poetic [he was perhaps the first cinematographer to use bounce lighting consistently -ahead of Raoul Coutard in France and Sven Nykvist in Sweeden]."
