WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Granite can be regarded as a variant of Mellow. It has a full editing process and keeps the aesthetic play of light and shadow areas. We value and maintain the dynamics using low level of light distributions, not trying to even out the image but brighten them more.
Sample
Input recommendation:
The images should have an overall balanced exposure, with a combination of ambient and flash exposures. Exposures must emphasize the ambient light and be well exposed. When flash is used, it should be used as fill flash with low power and without giving shadows. The flash exposure is partly used to set the right colors.
It´s natural and acceptable that these type of images are slightly underexposed keeping the shapes from the natural light.
If flash is too extensively utilized, and input are over exposed, the editing will be in more in the Sparks or Mellow style.
