DIEGO LA ROSA
SENIOR COLORIST
I was born in Taranto, Italy, where I grew up surrounded by the iconic imagery of spaghetti westerns and classic 1950s films. My passion for visual storytelling led me to graduate in “TV and Film Editing” at Video Symphony in Los Angeles. Over the years, I have built a diverse and international career, working as a colorist for renowned studios such as Abstract Groove, a creative company specializing in video production and post-production in Milan, where I spent six years; Pixion, one of Mumbai’s oldest and most prestigious post-production studios, where I worked for a year; and MagicLab in Prague, where I contributed for two years.
Today, I work as a freelance DI Specialist Colorist, based in Milan, collaborating on projects worldwide. My work has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including Best Color at the Creative Film Award 2025, Best Commercial Colorist at the Colorist Award 2021, Best Czech Cinematography 2017 for the film Spina and best color short film at the Dehancer Award 2024. These accolades reflect my dedication to the craft and my ability to bring a unique blend of technical skill, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the nostalgic beauty of film to every project I undertake.

Born in North Italy, I fell in love with cinema early on. In my childhood, I developed a fascination for the power of pictures – a passion for the visual medium which grew steadily but surely – one that eventually brought me to complete my studies in filmmaking and photography. I began my career as assistant colorist in 2007 on a telecine at Lumiq Studios (Turin) and spent the next 10 years working in Europe and Asia. I’ve worked as in-house colorist at Rumblefish (Milan) and Prime Focus (Mumbai). I’ve also freelanced in Italy, Nepal and India.

When I am not in DI studio, I work on self-intimated photography assignments which help me comprehend our beautiful and chaotic world.
