ABOUT ME

I started doing professional video color grading in 2016 after 11 years as a photographer. My photos have been published in publications such as National Geographic, Kommersant, the Village, etc.

I’ve worked for brands like Nike, Otrivin, Gloria Jeans, Durban’s Super Giants, Joburg Super Kings, Spar, 1XBET, Embodied Labs.

I have experience with HDR and all kinds of VR video. I am also fully prepared for remote color correction. I have successful cases of remote grading for HBO and Netflix.

EVERY SHOT COUNTS

i’m very attentive to each shot, to its details. I love our work, and therefore we give our best.

EACH PROJECT IS UNIQUE

A particular place in my approach to work is creating a visual image of the work. Each of my results is unique, and I do not use one method. I make a new solution each time to emphasize the uniqueness of your project and help you tell your story as much as possible, get into the proper intonation, and emphasize emotions.

CRAFT TOOLS

I develop our own image correction tools that bring our ideas to life. It doesn’t matter if it’s color or texture.

FILM STOCK EMULATION

Constant research into film aesthetics allows us to achieve excellent results when working with color and image texture. I strive to create unique film palettes to use 100% of all the knowledge accumulated over decades in the field of harmonies and visual perception of the image. I pay special attention to working with the texture of the picture. So I have identified 3 main areas for ourselves: contrast, color, and consistency, so the result is truly unrepeatable.

OWN MASTER FOR EACH PLATFORM

Different streaming platforms (Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Vimeo, Youtube, and others) use different image compression algorithms for broadcasting. I study these algorithms to select the optimal settings for creating master files that will save your work in the best quality for a particular platform. I also manage image sharpening for theatrical and streaming to maintain the proper viewing experience and fully immerse ourselves in the story.
