# Liminal Color Grade

Moody Photo Editing With Liminal Depth

I shape color, contrast, and atmosphere into images that feel cinematic, quiet, and emotionally charged.

I refine one image into a more atmospheric, cohesive final frame.
A More Personal Way to Shape Your Image
I begin by reading the existing light, color, and emotional tone of the photograph. From there, I adjust contrast, shadows, highlights, and color relationships to create a mood that feels intentional rather than imposed. The edit remains grounded in the original image while giving it greater visual presence.
This focused service is suited to a standout photograph, a test image, or a key frame within a larger project. The process is considered and responsive, with attention to subtle transitions, skin and subject detail where relevant, and the balance between what is revealed and what remains uncertain.

## About

I am Sergio Cabrera, an amateur photographer and visual storyteller drawn to atmosphere, music, and the quiet details of everyday places. I create photography and cinematic video with a moody, dreamlike perspective, exploring landscapes, movement, and liminal spaces. My work is guided by curiosity rather than a fixed formula, giving each image room to feel personal, imperfect, and open to interpretation.
