Biography


Shukla was born in Lucknow into a family that was not related to film industry. She was interested in films right from her childhood and completed her graduation from the University of Lucknow, Lucknow.[4] Upon graduation, she decided to join the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) to do a course in cinematography, which she felt was an ideal platform to express her "creativity". Her family was supportive of her decision.[5] Shukla's diploma film at the FTII was premiered at the competition section of the Camerimage film festival.[6] Upon completing her course at the FTII, she joined Santosh Sivan as an apprentice and went on to assist him in various films including two Hollywood productions – The Mistress of Spices and Before the Rains.[6][7] She was the second unit camerawoman for Mani Ratnam's Tamil–Hindi bilingual films Raavan and Raavanan (2010).[8] She got a break as an independent cinematographer through Kutty Srank, a Malayalam film directed by Shaji N. Karun. The film had the distinction of being the first in Malayalam to be shot by a woman cinematographer.[7] Shukla's work fetched her the Best Cinematography at the 57th National Film Awards in 2010. She was the first female to be awarded in the category.[5][8] After Kutty Srank, she joined with Santosh Sivan for Urumi, a period drama.[8]
