Hello! I’m Aadesh Salunke, a freelance colorist and cinematographer with a strong background in DI color grading and film restoration. I collaborate with YouTube creators and filmmakers to craft vivid, cohesive visuals that pop on screen. I also lead color pipelines and post-production workflows to ensure timely delivery of high-quality content.
I thrive when partnering with artists to shape a project’s look from planning through post-production, and I enjoy pushing technical boundaries to elevate storytelling through color, composition, and lighting. I bring a passion for cinematography and archival footage restoration, and I’m always eager to take on challenging assignments that push creative boundaries.
