About

Jamie McVicker is a freelance colourist with over 10 years of experience grading film, television, and commercial media.


Jamie draws on years of practical experience as a cinematographer to produce grades that preserve the authorial intent of his collaborators and place their stories at the centre.


His approach integrates an eye for colour harmony and technical detail with a calm and focused presence in the suite. Best described as heightened naturalism, his style seeks to elevate the naturalistic qualities of colour and light on the negative, creating images that feel both expressive and true-to-life.


Jamie has graded feature length projects, episodic series, documentaries, commercials and branded content for internationally recognised brands, agencies, and artists, with a collaborative spirit adaptable to any brief.


Jamie is based in Sydney, but available for remote work worldwide.
