Every project starts in the camera and ends in the grade.
I approach color as an extension of the cinematography —
not a correction, but a creative decision.
The tools below are what I use to get there.
Tools & Workflow
01
DaVinci Resolve
My primary grading environment. I work in DaVinci Resolve for everything
from dailies and look development to the final deliverable.
Node-based color management, HDR scopes, and full RAW decoding
in a single timeline.
02
Sony PVM-X3200 4K HDR
A 32-inch OLED reference monitor calibrated to BT.2020 / P3 D65.
When the image looks right on this screen, it looks right everywhere.
No guessing. The monitor is the truth.
03
Look Development
Before a single frame is shot, I build the look.
LUT design, color space transforms, printer lights —
look development shapes how the camera interprets light on set
and sets the visual language for the whole project.
04
Film Grain
Real grain, scanned from analog film stocks.
Applied at the right size, density, and luma weighting,
grain closes the distance between digital and film —
adding texture, warmth, and the organic quality that
flat digital images often lack.
