I recently recorded a DJ set using an FX30 with a 17-70mm lens, and now I'm working on color grading in DaVinci Resolve. It was my first time using this setup, so I'm still getting a better understanding of both the recording and color correction processes.

editing, I felt the image was a bit "washed out" and I had difficulty achieving more natural contrast and colors, especially in skin tones and the overall balance of the scene. I'm also unsure if I made a mistake in exposure during recording or if I'm still adjusting incorrectly in post-production.

I'd like your opinion, focusing mainly on color grading:

What do you think I could improve?

Any tips on workflow (CST, LUT, nodes), contrast, skin retouching, or even how to better highlight the subject in the environment?

I'm mainly looking to improve in this finalization aspect to make the result more professional.
