Senior Colourist

Terry
Simpson

Terry Simpson is an award-winning colourist based in New York, drawn to honest images, truthful light and grades that feel like they were always meant to be there.

Terry’s approach starts with listening. Understanding what the director and cinematographer were trying to make, then using colour, contrast and separation to guide the eye without overpowering the photography. He is drawn to images that feel honest and lived-in, where the grade supports the story and feels like it was always there.
