Nikolay N. Viktorov

From 2015 to 2020, I trained as a documentary director and cinematographer at the All-Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK). I began working as a colorist in 2017, and in 2022 founded CVETMET Color Grading Studio in Serbia.

My background as a filmmaker shapes the way I approach color grading. I see color as an integral part of cinematography and storytelling, not simply as a way to enhance an image. Having worked as a director and cinematographer myself, I understand how creative decisions are made and work closely with directors and cinematographers to find the right approach for each project.

I work across a wide range of formats and genres, collaborating with filmmakers, production companies and creative teams worldwide.
