Ramachandra who has recently worked for T.N. Seetharam directed `Meera Maadhava Raaghava' says that he works according to the needs of a director and the script. `I can only work with the materials and instruments given to me. Even if the script and narration demands a particular type of cinematography, the decision has to be taken by the director of the film. The director's interpretation will be followed by me' says Ramachandra.

In the film Dweepa, Ramachandra chose soft lights only because the film needed cloudy and gloomy ambience. Director Girish Kasaravalli wanted to have such an ambience.
