The Brief
A gala shot almost entirely in mixed light: tungsten wash, moving heads, phone screens, and whatever the red carpet bounced back up at people.
The grade was the real work here. Every frame arrived with a different colour temperature, so the pass was about building one continuous look out of a night that had none.
Warm highlights, deep neutral blacks, and skin protected through all of it. The frames below are straight from the graded timeline.
