My background in post-production, editing, and graphics has led me to dive into the world of colour grading. I’ve used various tools since the early days of Apple Color and now work with DaVinci Resolve Studio, one of the industry-leading tools for colour grading. I’ve been grading projects for over 15 years!
As a cinematographer, I often find myself in the grading suite as a client. It’s my job to bring the production’s vision to life, collaborating closely with the producer and director to ensure the look and feel of the project are spot-on with the stunning lighting and atmosphere we created during filming. It’s a key part of crafting visuals that truly pop!
Understanding the grading suite and the tools at a cinematographer’s disposal isn’t just practical; it makes everything more efficient and elevates the project to new heights.
