About
I’m Miroslav Shukalo, a creative colourist, look designer, and hands-on Director of Photography (DOP) specializing in expressive look development and stylized color grading. I build bold, textured, and emotionally driven visual identities for music videos, commercials, fashion visuals, and narrative short films—ranging from cold, gritty industrial palettes to high-key commercial finishes with classic film-like emulations.
I’m also a practical remote post-production collaborator: I work asynchronously with Frame.io using pre-graded look bibles and pinned revision notes, keeping shot-to-shot matching consistent across multi-camera productions. Using a scene-referenced DaVinci Resolve pipeline (including custom 3D LUTs and film print emulation), I deliver high-quality grading, primary balancing, and finishing while supporting fast turnarounds for production teams in the US, UK, and EU.
