I have a batch of images that already look sharp out of camera, yet they still feel a bit flat. I want each shot pushed into a cohesive, dramatic palette that resembles the cinematic look you see in contemporary film stills. Your task is pure color correction—no background swaps or heavy retouching—focused on color grading only. I’m aiming for deep, tasteful contrast, balanced hues, and subtle teal-orange tension without crushing shadows or blowing highlights. Skin tones must remain natural, and fine details such as hair texture and fabric grain should stay intact. Here’s what I’ll supply: RAW or high-resolution JPEG files plus a short reference mood board. What I expect back are fully graded, print-ready JPEGs along with editable presets or XMP files so I can replicate the grade on future shoots. I work in Lightroom and occasionally DaVinci Resolve, so please indicate which tools you prefer; as long as the final files play nicely with Adobe software, we’re good. Turnaround is flexible within a week, but sooner is appreciated. Before we proceed, send over two or three portfolio examples that show your experience delivering a cinematic grade. Once I okay the style, I’ll forward the full set and green-light the project.

Hello Sir, Greetings of the day, Your project aligns perfectly with the kind of cinematic color work I specialize in. I understand you’re not looking for artificial edits or over-processed images—you want refined, film-inspired grading that enhances mood while preserving the integrity of the original capture. My approach focuses on building a cohesive palette with controlled contrast, rich tonal depth, subtle teal-orange separation, and clean highlight/shadow retention without sacrificing natural skin tones or fine texture detail. I primarily work in Adobe Lightroom Classic and DaVinci Resolve, so delivering Adobe-compatible XMP presets and print-ready JPEGs will be seamless. I also maintain a non-destructive workflow to ensure consistency across an entire batch while keeping every frame visually balanced and cinematic. For projects like this, I usually begin by studying the supplied mood board, then create a master grade that can be adapted shot-by-shot for consistency. Hair texture, fabric grain, and dynamic range are carefully preserved throughout the grading process. I can comfortably deliver within your one-week timeline, and likely sooner depending on image count. I’ll also provide reusable preset files so you can apply the same visual identity to future shoots. I’d be happy to share 2–3 portfolio samples that showcase cinematic grading styles similar to what you described. Once you approve the look, I can begin immediately. Thanks Brij Rawat

Hi! I’d love to help create a cinematic and cohesive color grade for your images while keeping skin tones natural and details sharp. I mainly work with Lightroom and Adobe tools, focusing on rich contrast, balanced tones, and a clean film-inspired look without overediting. I do have previous cinematic editing work, but most of it is from very private projects, so I’m unfortunately unable to share many public examples. However, I’d be happy to create a sample from one of your images so you can see the quality and style before moving forward. I can also provide editable presets/XMP files along with high-quality final JPEGs for future use. I’d love the opportunity to work with you!

Hey! I’d genuinely love to work on this because the style you described is exactly the kind of grading I enjoy doing most. I’m really into creating that modern cinematic look where the image still feels natural and detailed, but has more depth, mood, and color separation like contemporary film stills. I mainly work in Lightroom Classic and DaVinci Resolve, so delivering Adobe-friendly files, high-res JPEGs, and reusable XMP presets won’t be an issue. My approach is focused on color grading only — no overdone retouching, fake skin smoothing, or anything that kills the original texture of the shot. I pay close attention to keeping skin tones realistic while adding tasteful contrast, controlled highlights, richer shadows, and subtle teal-orange tones without making the image look overly processed. I also make sure details like hair texture, fabric grain, and natural sharpness stay intact. You’ll receive: • Fully graded high-resolution JPEGs • Consistent cinematic grading across the full batch • Editable XMP preset/settings for future shoots • Clean, professional workflow with fast communication If you’d like, I can first send over 2–3 examples of previous cinematic grading work so you can see if my style matches the mood you’re after. Once approved, I can start on the full set right away. Looking forward to hearing from you!
