One of the most acclaimed and popular colourists working in London has now joined the roster at Studio RM.

Vlad Barin has joined the colour team at Studio RM, bringing his exceptional portfolio spanning film, fashion,  commercials and music videos to the studio with bases in London, New York and Paris. 

Barin brings a strong artistic identity grounded in analogue and darkroom photography and refined while he was a student at the NFTS. He has been a highly prolific colourist on music videos ever since, building his esteemed reputation among directors and cinematographers at CHEAT (now Harbor).

Among his many music video credits include videos for The Academic, Pa Salieu, Unknown T, M Huncho, Bashy, Central Cee, and Luvcat. Most recently he graded Leigh-Anne's Been A Minute, directed by Femi "Ladi" Oladigbolu. And he has also collaborated with directors including Tyler Mitchell, Martin Werner and Oladigbolu on campaigns for Gucci, Grey Goose, Orange, Cos, Ferrari and Byredo.

"Studio RM has always been about pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling and building a community of artists who share our ethos," says Robert Moore, Studio RM's founding director. "Vlad shares that ethos and brings a rare blend of tactile craft and cinematic sensitivity to his grading."
