In the Photography sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, HDR Conversion delivers measurable results that transform how photography professionals communicate with their audience.
Photography business video production serves professionals who must differentiate themselves in an oversaturated market where every smartphone owner considers themselves a photographer. Behind-the-scenes videos showing the professional workflow (location scouting, lighting setup, direction of subjects, post-production retouching) demonstrate the expertise that justifies fees 10-50x higher than amateur alternatives. Gear and technique tutorials position the photographer as an authority within the photography community while building an audience that includes both peers and potential clients. Client experience videos documenting a full session (pre-shoot consultation, wardrobe guidance, the actual shoot, image reveal) reduce booking anxiety for high-value services like wedding photography (2,000-8,000 euros) or commercial campaigns (5,000-20,000 euros per day). Portfolio videos presenting curated image sequences with cinematic transitions create more emotional impact than static gallery pages. Distribution targets Instagram (portfolio), YouTube (education), and the photographer's booking website. Content budgets are typically 500-2,000 euros per video or self-produced with professional lighting and audio equipment.
Cultural institutions face the challenge of reaching audiences beyond their physical walls. 62% of museum visitors watch online content before visiting, and virtual exhibitions have become essential for global reach. Video must capture the visceral impact of art while respecting the artist's vision and the work's integrity.
From exhibition documentation to artist interviews, performance capture to educational content, cultural video requires sensitivity and technical excellence. Low-light gallery conditions, reflective surfaces, and the need to convey scale and texture all present unique production challenges.
A contemporary art museum produced virtual tour videos of their flagship exhibition. Online viewership reached 2.8M (vs 180K physical visitors), international ticket sales increased 34% for subsequent exhibitions, and the museum's subscriber base grew 156%.
Cultural video amplifies reach exponentially: virtual exhibition videos reach 15x more people than physical visits, artist interview series increase exhibition attendance by 34%, and educational art content builds long-term audience loyalty. Cultural institutions with active video channels report 45% higher membership renewal rates.
1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.
2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.
3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.
4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.
HDR conversion transforms your SDR content into HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision formats — or converts HDR masters down to SDR for legacy displays. We handle the full technical pipeline: color space conversion (Rec.709 to Rec.2020), PQ or HLG transfer function application, MaxCLL/MaxFALL metadata generation, and Dolby Vision XML sidecar creation if required. This service is critical for platform delivery where HDR is expected (Netflix, Apple TV+, YouTube HDR). We work in DaVinci Resolve's HDR grading workspace and deliver verified masters with full QC reports. Turnaround is 2-4 days depending on content length and target format count.
You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
Software: DaVinci Resolve Studio, Baselight | Monitoring: FSI DM250, calibrated Rec.709/P3/Rec.2020 | Formats: ACES workflow, CDL, .cube LUT export | HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG
