Urbex Cinematic, Eterna for Urban Exploration

Eterna simulation recipe for urbex, industrial and city photography

Urbex Cinematic

Urban exploration photography is a growing trend, where you take a photowalk through a city or other built up area and look out for interesting photo subjects. These can be buildings, highways, rail tracks, fences, trucks or industrial buildings. Images often include a lot of grey or materials like metal and concrete.

I’ve used Eterna film simulation as the base for this recipe, with soft tones, but also a built in green tint to neutrals that adds a lot of cinematic character, and works well with greys and neturals for a muted urbex look.
