Nice Shoes has expanded its Toronto location, adding colorist Yulia Bulashenko. She brings over seven years of experience as a freelance colorist, working on projects with such global clients as Nike, Volkswagen, MTV, Toyota, Diesel, Uniqlo, Uber, Adidas and Zara. Notable projects include Sia and Diplo’s (LSD) music video for “Audio”; “Sound and Vision,” a tribute to the late singer David Bowie directed by CANADA for whom she has been a colorist of choice for the past five years; and feature films The Girl From The Song and Gold. Bulashenko is available immediately and will be based out of Nice Shoes’ Toronto studio, while also available remotely via Nice Shoes’ New York, Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis spaces.
Bulashenko began her career as a fashion photographer, organically transitioning into creating fashion films. Through handling all of the postproduction on her own film projects, she discovered a passion for the nuanced art of color. After building relationships with a number of collaborators, she began taking on projects as a freelance colorist, working with clients in Spain and the U.K. and quickly establishing herself as a sought-after talent on a wide range of projects throughout Europe, Mexico, Qatar, and India.
