OWH Darkness Fujifilm recipe for the darkest of days

To make great pictures in darkness with just a little artificial light you need serious contrast and noise control. This recipe is the best you can do to your JPGs in that situation. — It’s November here in Norway as I write this. November is miserable in many ways, but most of all it’s when the natural light is at its low point. The beautiful warm, glowing fall light of September and October is long gone, daylight hours are few, and the Christmas lights…

Joel Meyerowitz Fujifilm Recipe

Standing on the shoulder of a giant — Throughout the summer I happily shot with OWH Film for everything. I still shoot a lot with it, but using fixed white balance got me thinking about serendipity. The fact that certain things are best left uncorrected because then it better represents a mood, even if some things are “wrong”…

OWH Film Fujifilm recipe

A Fujifilm recipe designed to look convincingly like film and makes no excuses about how it gets there. — Film photography is growing in popularity and I think that’s great! For me it’s been kind of a strange journey to this point. You see I started in photography in 1994, having learned the ropes from my father. I shot, developed and printed a lot of black and white in…

Everybody loves Classic Chrome for street photography it seems. I’m here to give you what you want, but also to tell you that there’s a better way. — If you have been following me for some time you will know that Astia is my go to film simulation.

How to design Fujifilm Recipes

I often get asked to create a recipe mimicking the style of specific films or photographers. Instead of doing that, let me instead show you how I go about doing it in a few simple steps. — Fujifilm has given us a great set of tools for creating distinct looks in camera, without having to do much post processing, if any. With some basic knowledge of these tools you should be able to play around and achieve what you want.

Modern Negative Fujifilm Recipe

Film and digital — the best of both worlds in one recipe — Back in May this year I told you about a recipe I created named New American Color. I made it to mimic the look of Joel Sternfeld’s large format street portraits. To that end I would say i was fairly successful. As close as digital gets without post-processing anyway. …

Medium format look on small sensors

You can mimic the look of a larger sensor on APS-C, but it will require you to tune every step of the capture and editing process. Here’s how. — Let me preface this by saying that I am in no way suggesting that a small sensor can replace a larger one with post production. There is a lot to shooting medium format that simply cannot be faked completely. Chief among which are depth of field, detail and tonality. Also…

Modern Documentary Fujifilm Recipe

Looking for a modern-looking, general purpose Fujifilm recipe that still packs some punch? Look no further! — The keyword for this recipe has to be “versatility”. For the past 6 months I have been shooting street photography like a madman. In the process I have been testing just about every film sim under the sun, as well as the stock film simulations that come with my cameras…

New American Color Fujifilm Recipe

Ever since I discovered the work of Joel Sternfeld I’ve been obsessing over how to achieve a similar look in-camera. Here’s my take on it. — I think I have gotten as close as is possible. Digital is not film, but given the level of control we get with Fujifilm film simulations and in-camera processing we can get pretty close. Recipe and examples at the bottom. Find more examples on my Instagram. Distilling Sternfeld’s Look
