Ken Metzker is one of India’s most respected senior colorists, known for his deep understanding of cinematic storytelling through colour. Joining Reliance MediaWorks in 2007, Ken has since graded more than 15 major Bollywood productions, contributing to films that have defined the visual language of modern Indian cinema.
His portfolio includes Laal Singh Chaddha, Kalank, Gully Boy, Dil Dhadakne Do, Toofan, Talaash, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, among others.
In recent years, Ken’s work has extended to projects such as Karuppu, 120Bahadur, and The Paradise, the latter in collaboration with Red Chillies Entertainment. His grading is distinguished by a seamless balance between emotional tone and visual impact, ensuring that every frame resonates with narrative depth.
Ken’s mastery has been recognised internationally—most notably with the ‘Best Colorist’ award for Dunki at the Cinematography Art Awards 2025. As a member of the Indian Society of Cinematographers (ISC), he continues to collaborate closely with leading directors, cinematographers, and production houses to elevate the craft of colour grading in both commercial and feature projects.
