I adapt to your vision and advise you on artistic choices. I enhance the DP's images without distorting them.

You're looking for a reliable collaborator to manage post-production for your clients. I communicate clearly and meet deadlines.
You need an expert outside eye to finalise your project. You have a style to apply or develop.
Colour Grading
Broadcast colourimetry to elevate your images
You've shot and edited your footage: now you're looking for a colourist who understands your vision and respects your deadlines. I handle the colour grading of your documentaries, adverts, fiction projects, and corporate content, remotely from my studio in Limoges.
Who is this for ?
The method
I assist the editor upstream to prepare the timeline for grading and send it over. On my end, I reconnect the media, verify the editing reference, and carry out a quality check.
Exposure, contrast, and white balance for shot-matching, then curves, vignettes, creative LUTs, or film emulation based on your references. I work in successive passes.
You comment directly in the player, and I respond precisely to every note. I'm not just an executor, if I have an idea to improve a scene, I'll put it to you.
I deliver a video file ready to drop back into the editor's timeline for the final export.
Narrative consistency : colour tells the story just as much as the images.
Respecting the DOP's work : I enhance what was captured; I don't misrepresent it.
Controlled naturalism : even on creative looks, skin tones and skies remain credible.
What I prioritise
What I avoid
Trendy looks imposed for their own sake that don't serve the story. If Instagram loves teal & orange but it doesn't suit your film, we won't use it.
Looks that go against what was shot. Pushing too far risks breaking the image. Colour grading ≠ visual effects.
I always start from your vision. You share your visual references — films, photographs, moods — and I build a look that serves your story. I can push very different styles: punchy and high-contrast for an advert, soft and warm for an intimate documentary, cold and clinical for a dystopian fiction.
My style adapts to your narrative, not the other way around.
