Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Arthouse Cinema, the Sophisticated One

Fujifilm X-Trans IV film simulation recipe using Eterna for mellow soft tones

The Eterna Cinema film simulation is one of my favourites, with a mellow softness that oozes cinematic character. I love the slightly green brown tint to it as well, and for this recipe, I embrace these mellow tones and make a feature of the softness.

I named this film recipe Arthouse Cinema as a reflection of the creative tones and wonderful B-roll seen in independent films. It’s got a look that’s very easy to imagine in such situations and has quickly become a regular choice in my photography. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

      • Actually there are two crazy X-T4 style double exposure photos. I just discovered what this camera can do, surrealistic and kinda AI results using it’s multi exposure settings. Check it out 🙂
