Dante Pasquinelli grew up in San Francisco around photography and in darkrooms where he developed an appreciation for the nuances of imagery.
Dante’s career began in Los Angeles as a post engineer at RadicalMedia before quickly transitioning to color grading. Largely self-taught, he honed his skills on acclaimed shows for Netflix, IFC, and AMC.
Since joining Ethos in 2021, Dante's alchemical approach has earned him renown in advertising, high fashion, and feature films. He works closely with the industry's top creatives, collaborating on projects for brands such as Apple, Gucci, Adidas, Google, and YSL. His recent commercial and music video work has been recognized with color awards from Ciclope and D&AD. Dante's feature successes this year include "Thelma," which premiered at Sundance and was purchased by Magnolia Pictures for wide distribution, and "Skincare," an upcoming Universal feature film set to premiere in theaters in August.
Dante's visual style combines intuitive color with textural atmosphere, invoking a sense of elegance infused with countercultural edge (different words?)—refined, dreamlike beauty meets coarse reality. Seamlessly integrating this unique perspective into a diverse range of projects has made him a sought-after colorist in both commercial and artistic circles.
