Client Challenge
The ceramic artist needed a visually compelling artist portrait to present her creative process, inspirations, and client collaborations to a French and international audience. The challenge was to capture her artistic voice and visual identity in a short format, while making it accessible through accurate multilingual subtitles.

Solution Delivered
I created a short documentary (produced entirely solo) that reflects the artist’s aesthetic values, slow craftsmanship and intimate studio process. Shot in French and subtitled in English, the video required careful translation and formatting of multilingual captions, with manual refinement to match visual pacing. The color grade was tailored using a node-based workflow, allowing for selective masking and adjustments to match the earthy, minimal, and soft tone of her work.
