Luttie
Skin tones that look right,
every session, every light.
Portraits live or die on skin tone. Studio strobes, open shade, and golden hour backlight each shift colour differently, and clients notice when a face looks off. Build a grade that protects skin tone first, export it as a LUT, and carry it into every session.
The colour problems you hit
And how Luttie handles each one, repeatably.
Skin tone shifts with the light
Studio strobes, window light, and golden hour backlight all cast differently. Protect the skin tone range first, then adjust everything else around it.
Mixed light on location
Shade, direct sun, and bounce fighting in one frame. Neutralise the base before you style the grade.
A portfolio that doesn't look like one photographer
Every session shot differently reads as inconsistent. One grade, reused, reads as a style.
Consistent skin tone is the whole brand
Clients scroll a portfolio looking for one thing without knowing it: does everyone look like themselves, or does every session look different? A repeatable grade that protects skin tone across lighting conditions is what separates a photographer people book from one they don't.
