About

Hey! I’m an Advanced Colorist based in France, offering remote services.

I’ve studied grading techniques and color science through training with senior colorist Cullen Kelly, and I love geeking out on look development!

With a background in cinematography as a Director of Photography and Camera Operator, I understand both the technical and creative choices made on set and how they carry through into post-production.

Let’s craft the look of your next project!

Tony Lama Boots - Heritage Collection

During look development, we explored two different styles. I built one look to closely match the client’s visual references, but we ultimately went with the second approach that leaned more toward a filmic look. Inspired by Kodak Vision3, I pushed the contrast, and brought back richer colors overall, and introduced subtle halation. I also softened the shadows and leaned into the Vision3 palette, with slightly cyan blues and stronger color separation.
 As always, I took special care with localized adjustments to bring the focus where it should be. Really glad I got to grade these beautiful images for Tony Lama Boots. Producer: Ojuice Films

Rituals Cosmetics

Rituals commercial : 1 x 20” + 1 x 10” cuts We went for a soft and natural grade, preserving some warm tones in the look I developed. Some localized adjustments were made to subtly focus the eye on the important parts of the image. A few shots needed to be cleaned up with precise object removal.

maraislise - Fashion film

On this one, we aimed for a look inspired by photographic film. We chose to preserve a slightly warm feeling, while keeping natural skin tones and soft curve adjustments. I brought some punch and vividness to the strong colors, such as the red tones. Halation, subtle filter emulation and fine grain helped get the images to the right place with the softness and texture we were looking for. Producer: Digital Bang Bang

Pici Vari – Short film

Pici Vari is a 30’ Italian short film. It was challenging to grade heavily underexposed footage, requiring noise reduction. I built a soft look with a gentle contrast curve and a touch of split toning. Working with density played a big role in the look of the film. Directed by Samuel Debon.
