Colour grading / Finishing / Online

With over 15 year’s experience in colour grading, I have collaborated with directors, DoPs and major brands from all over the world, delivering bespoke looks for music videos, commercials, dramas and documentaries.

For projects requiring online work, I also specialise in object removal/replacement, beauty retouching, graphics and a range of compositing and finishing tasks.

I also offer a comprehensive project delivery service that includes conforming, colour grading, online editing, QC, and broadcast mastering, ensuring your content is ready for any online or broadcast distribution platform.

Based in Manchester, I am also available for remote work worldwide. I would love to discuss your next project so please get in touch.
