Your vision.
Beyond
imagination.
Lignarius Pictures is a filmmaking practice led by Praveen Sonichen.
Every film begins with listening: to your idea, to the people behind it, and to what you hope someone will feel. Together, we give that vision room to grow into something you may not yet have imagined.
Praveen is a member of the International Cinematographers Guild, IATSE Local 669, part of the community of skilled film professionals behind Hollywood and international productions.
That connection brings a deep respect for the craft: careful preparation, thoughtful collaboration and care for the people on set. Drawing on more than a century of filmmaking tradition, we bring these principles to every project, from the first conversation to the final frame.

Intent in
every frame.
Some stories arrive fully formed. Others begin with a feeling. Wherever you are, we’ll meet you there.
01Direction & production
We begin with what matters to you. Then we shape the story, guide the performances and bring people together to make a film that feels true to its purpose.
Brand films · Advertising · Documentary02Cinematography
A face in the right light. A movement that says more than words. We approach the camera with curiosity, finding images that let the feeling come through.
Visual treatment · Lighting · Camera03Editing
An honest moment, a quiet pause, the right cut. We listen for the rhythm within the footage and give the story the space it needs to be felt.
Story · Structure · Rhythm04Color grading
Color changes how an image feels. We shape light, tone and texture with care, finding a look that belongs to your story.
Every story starts somewhere.
An idea. A feeling. A conversation.
Let’s make
something meaningful.
