After studying Art History and Cinema at Sorbonne in Paris, Isabelle Barrière worked for over 17 years in audiovisual production and post-production in France and worldwide. First as a freelance camerawoman       and later as a video journalist and a director, mainly for cultural and artistic productions.

In 2011, she decided to focus on color grading, got trained in France and later at ICA London. Then she got certified by THX for video calibration and opened her own facility in Paris in 2012. Since then, she has been working as a digital colorist for TV, cinema, web, and corporate creating documentaries, fiction, music videos, and commercials. In parallel, she teaches color grading in vocational schools.

Since 2020, Barrière has been particularly involved in Film restoration with Cité de Mémoire, a Parisian post-production laboratory dedicated to heritage, where she has been able to develop her skills in film scanning   and digital restoration, thus enabling her to control the integrity of the entire image chain.

Being a member of Colorist Society International since 2016, she’s also officer of the French Chapter.
