The Challenge

Light-and-Airy Originals, a Cinematic Request

Caroline's graduation photos came from a photographer who shoots light and airy. The client's moodboard wanted the opposite: a moody, cinematic look.

The job was to match that moodboard, shifting the set from bright and airy to darker and filmic, while keeping skin natural and the cream gown and blue stole true against the brick building.

The Solution

Deep Color Matching to the Moodboard

I matched the color to the client's moodboard references, deepening the tones and adding contrast and warmth to get the cinematic mood, while keeping skin natural.

The look stays consistent across the set, so the light-and-airy originals now match what Caroline wanted.
