Meet the Artist Podcast: Colorist Jill Bogdanowicz

Some people come from a family of doctors or accountants, but for the Bogdanowicz family, their business is color and color science. For this episode of postPerspective’s Meet the Artist podcast, we spoke to Company 3 senior digital colorist Jill Bogdanowicz about growing up in Rochester with her color scientist dad, Mitchell, and how his own father, M.J. Bogdanowicz, inspired him and his children to work in the world of color. As a child, Jill loved photography and even had her own dark room. That was the basis of her love for images… learning how to frame, change contrast, filtration and more. “The magic of watching that image appear under the red light was the beginning of my passion,” she says. Bogdanowicz is also a painter, “so the drive and love for beautiful images and how to create them has always been in my blood.” But it was more than just the creative part that interested her; she was also drawn to the technical aspects of the work. It was this unique combination of creative and technology that led Bogdanowicz to become a colorist, a job she didn’t even know existed at first.
