Color Grading & Finishing | Cinematographer | DaVinci Resolve

I’m a colorist and cinematographer working in narrative film, commercials, and branded content. I grade in DaVinci Resolve and approach every project as a continuation of the director’s vision, not a separate step after production. I build looks from scratch. No presets. I work from the raw sensor data - log, RAW, or camera-native reading what the DP intended and shaping it toward what the story needs: mood, skin tones, consistency across cuts, and a final image that holds on any screen. Certified in Dolby Vision content creation and SMPTE color-managed workflows. I deliver in SDR and HDR, handle multi-camera matching, VFX integration, and cleanup. ProRes 4444 XQ available on request. When a project calls for it, I edit as well with the same priorities: mood, pacing, and the emotional weight of each cut. Particularly for fashion and lifestyle content where restraint matters more than speed, and where color and skin tones are part of the edit itself, not an afterthought.
