Yakisugi Film Recipe

Yakisugi

Based in Morocco, Mehdi Berrada is an architect and Fujifilm photographer who shoots stylish images with his X100V. His film recipe, Yakisugi has been receiving lots of positive reaction, but had no web page with the details. So, here we have the Yakisugi film recipe, by Mehdi Berrada.

Yakisugi, if you were curious, is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation that involves flame treating the outer layer. The resulting colour palette is dark and charred, and this character comes through in the muted tones of this film recipe.

    I just took a few photos outside, deep shadows, lovely blues and touch of brownish tint – definitely good for streets. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. Will put a gallery link in near future.

      That was quick! I’ve got it onto the camera, but haven’t taken anything yet

    Fantastic recipe! Unfortunately I own an X-T30 (Mk.I) which does not have the fine settings of Kelvin WB. I can choose either 7100 or 7700. Can I somehow use WB-shift to achieve the necessary WB of 7500?

      In one of the film sim Facebook groups a couple of people were discussing this. I think the difference is small and one chose 77, another 71. I’m not sure if they also needed to tweak the WB as well, but maybe try a few RAW & JPEGs and do a few adjustments after?

        No pressure. Just that the door is open.

      I think you have Classic Chrome? If so, you can match the settings you have in your camera as close as possible and see how it looks. It might be a bit different, but still a nice style.
