Still on a LUT diet over here! 🙋‍♀️

In today’s look my objective was to develop a film emulation without any external DCTLs, LUTs or plugins. Yes, it may be easier to do it in a single click but where’s the fun and creativity in that? For the contrast, I always stick to drawing a custom curve as I find it gives me the most precision. The palette is a built using a subtle RGB split, HSL curves, color warper and my new favourite tool - Color Slice. But to make the look feel believable and authentic, as if shot on a 16mm Bolex, I created a film frame in Photoshop and integrated it into the grade. The subtle lens blur around the edges emulates the look of vintage cinema lenses.

It’s mad how much Rec709 footage from a Panasonic GH5s can be pushed. 🤯

In today’s look, I almost entirely relied on primaries, custom curves and a few free DCTL’s to achieve a cold greenish winter look. The main objective was to move away from the unappealing yellow foliage and transform it into a deep green colour. To change the hue, I used a blending technique in LAB colour space and to make the greens darker I relied on a free DCTL I recently came across. (And, no, it’s Paul Dore’s Film Density DCTL you may be thinking of.)

I’ll share a breakdown of this look on my YouTube channel soon. Feel free to subscribe in advance so you get notified once the video is out . See you there!

I’ve been on a LUT diet. 😋

I think LUTs and plugins can be awesome and they have their advantages. But I don’t enjoy not being able to have control over how they affect my images. So I’ve forced myself to go back to building looks from scratch and it’s been incredibly refreshing. I love that it’s made me scratch my head and think of ways to achieve certain characteristics you’d get from a film LUT, for example, by using simple native tools.

So today’s look is a vibrant 16-mm emulation created without any LUTs, external plugins or DCTLs. Most of the work is achieved through custom curves, HSL curves and color warper.

Would you be interested in seeing a breakdown of this grade? 🤔

Also, let me know if you’re on a LUT diet too! 😄

Hello, world! 👋 Today's post is not a grade or a new piece of work. I realised I've never actually introduced myself to my network of collaborators and fellow creatives because I usually feel most comfortable behind the lens. However, I've realised that people are the most important in any project I've done. So I've decided to share a few things about me so you can get to know the person behind the work.

- My mindset is focused on abundance, not scarcity. I believe there are opportunities and success for everyone. So I consider fellow colourists and editors as friends and peers instead of competition. I believe the way to lift our industry as a whole is to help each other and not be 'gatekeepers'. 😊

- I prioritise well-being and fitness as I feel the best way to bring your 100% every day is to stay healthy and keep moving. So I've been a gym-goer since 2017. 💪

- I enjoy reading books focused on self-help and productivity. I've read at least a dozen now (any good ones you've read?) but there are still days where I struggle with procrastination and a lack of discipline. No one's perfect. I'm far from it. But continuous learning and improvement is a core value of mine so I'll keep doing my best. 📚

I'm always keen to meet like-minded people so let's grab a virtual coffee (or a real one if you're based in Sofia). ☕

I'm so excited to share my colour grading showreel with you. I've had the opportunity to work on some remarkable projects in the past two years and I'm immensely grateful to every single one of my clients who has trusted me with their work. Looking forward to seeing what 2024 has to bring. ✨

Happy International Women's Day, ladies! 💃 Shoutout to all the amazing women out there paving the way in filmmaking. Let's keep it up! 🙌

Today's look is based on Kodak Potra 400 negative stock and Kodak's infamous 2383 print stock. To dial in the contrast, I created a custom curve with lifted blacks and a roll-off in the highlights. As a final touch, I finessed the texture of the look using a number of techniques I learned from training with Dado Valentic.
