Punchy and opinionated this style has soft highlights, deep shadows, and muted whites that create a modern look. Low clarity keeps skin smooth and creamy, while high edge sharpening preserves detail. Cinematic, polished, and not for everyone — by design. Created by James Broadbent, Founder of Narrative.
