Color Grading
Cinematic looks, mood and tone. I shape light and color so every frame tells the right story.
Colorist & Retoucher · Est. 2014
Make color sing.
I'm Mara Voss — I grade, retouch and bring photographs back to life. From flat raw frames to images that feel something.

01
What I do
Four disciplines, one obsession — color that carries emotion.
Retouching
High-end skin, product and detail work — invisible, natural, magazine-grade finishing.
Colorization
Black & white brought to life. Historically faithful or boldly reimagined — your call.
Look Design
Custom filters, LUTs and presets — a signature look you can reuse across a whole campaign.

Color is a language. I'm fluent.
For over a decade I've graded film, retouched campaigns and rescued forgotten frames for studios, brands and photographers who care about the last 10%. The part nobody notices — until it's gone.
I work fast, I work clean, and I treat every image like it's going on a wall.

Brief
You send the frames and the feeling. References welcome, gut feelings even more.

Analyze
I read the light, the skin, the story — and map where color needs to go.

Grade & Retouch
The craft. Tone, contrast, cleanup, the look — built and refined with you.

Deliver
Final files, plus a reusable LUT/preset so your next shoot starts already on-brand.
