Paul’s approach focuses on how you look, not just “correct” numbers.
Traditional techniques often chase pure daylight (5600K) or just “white balance to auto.” That can make lighter skin go pale/ashy and darker skin go flat or muddy.
Paul’s method:
- Tunes color temp to skin tone ranges (≈5000–5600K for lighter, ≈4000–4800K for medium/darker)
- Treats light as a creative tool for richness and glow, not a technical checkbox
It outperforms old-school methods because it’s skin-first, cinematic-focused, and easy to repeat on any shoot.
