Spectral rendering, skin tone workflows, and camera profiles/transforms.

About

I chase honest skin under mixed sources. My work bridges meters, charts, and camera color so photo and video match without heavy grading.

Core Beliefs

Skin tones are the north star; everything else orbits them.

Background

In a boutique with mixed LEDs, the hero dress turned gray on camera while shoppers saw emerald. A quick spectral read showed a gap near 620 nm. We swapped to a closer SPD, tweaked white balance, and built a camera profile. The emerald returned, and skin tones stayed honest.

Perspective

I lean toward lights with stable SPDs and strong Rf/Rg over maximal output.
