Try these film sim recipes on your Fujifilm šŸ‘Øā€šŸ³ Swipe thru to the end. For the first 12 years of my photography journey, I thought shooting in JPEG was for newbs and amateurs. I thought any ā€œseriousā€ photographer should be shooting in RAW and processing their photos with full control. I was wrong. In 2021, I decided to give film simulations (and recipes) a fair shot. Fast forward to today, the recipes I use and shared have become some of the most popular recipes within the Fuji community šŸ™ŒšŸ½ If you’re looking for the perfect film simulation recipes for creating and documenting everyday, look no further. The color film simulation recipes are tuned specifically for melanated skin (for those who are tired of the overly orange skin in most other recipes). Note: I dial in the haze/dreaminess using Moment CineBloom filters or Urth Ethereal filters because the clarity adjustment adds to the processing time of the photos. Reggie’s Portra and HP5 work beautifully on all @fujifilmx_us X-Trans IV X-Trans V sensors (and even GFX). Reggie’s Superia will only work on cameras that have the Classic Neg film simulation (sorry!)

I need a Leica M-11D Monochrom @leicastorebellevue ā¤ļø Photo walk with @ruffdraft and @kellumphoto was fantastic. Brandon’s work inspired me to shoot B&W for the first time which is a medium I never thought I would come to love so much. His artistic workflow is also what led me to get my very own M-11D just like him. Cheers to all the other cool cats who came on the walk! šŸ“ø #leicaphotography #leicam11d #blackandwhitephotography #streetphotography #leica

Got to meet the legendary @ruffdraft and get a signed copy of his new book Migration Patterns at his gallery opening at @leicastorebellevue . If youre in the Seattle area and missed out today, he’s hosting a walk and talk in Bellevue tomorrow and his work will be on display for the next month. Make sure to check it out! Shot on the Leica M11 with the @artralab 28mm pancake lens.

More a feeling than a technique. Every day above ground is a W. Grateful for everyone I’m able to be a conduit for and who is one for me. That’s love.
