Skin tones and low light

Recommended Posts

It would be great to hear how you deal with skin tones in dark environments. With tungsten light the hue could be too red and in those situations I find it difficult to correct as red or dark orange skin can feel grey and lifeless with redused warmth. I find that lifting the highlights before doing the corrections could help some, but it doesn't always gives satifying results. 

I understand that DoP's can shoot dark for a reason but that doesn't help when the director is sitting next to me asking me to make the skin look good.
