Color grading and color correction for videos, advertising, social media, and audiovisual projects. I work on exposure, color balance, shot-to-shot consistency, and the final look in DaVinci Resolve to achieve a cinematic, cohesive image tailored to each project’s visual identity.
MY COLOR GRADING PROCESS
Color Management. I bring LOG footage into a controlled logarithmic working space (ACES or Rec.709 Gamma 2.4), preserving as much dynamic range as possible before starting the grade.
Balancing & Normalization. I adjust exposure, white balance, and contrast using scopes to create a clean, natural, and consistent base across shots.
Shot & Camera Matching. I match cameras and shots to build a consistent visual base throughout the entire piece.
Color Shaping. I work independently on saturation, density, contrast, curves, and color relationships, also using HSV adjustments and hue-based corrections to shape the image precisely without losing detail.
Look Development & Film Emulation. I build the visual character of each piece through tone shaping, color response, and photochemical emulation,using references such as Kodak 500T, Cineon workflows, and print-film processes to achieve a more organic and cinematic response.
Secondaries & Skin Tones. I create targeted keys and masks for skin tones and important elements, allowing me to adjust exposure, hue, saturation, and subject separation independently without affecting the rest of the shot.
Texture & Finishing. I integrate elements such as halation, grain, gate weave , and subtle organic imperfections when the project calls for them, adding texture and depth without letting the effect overpower the image.
Output & QC. I make the final adjustments to white point, temperature, density, and contrast, apply the output transform , and review levels, gamut, and shot-to-shot consistency before generating the final masters.
