Bleach bypass film recipe inspired by the Swedish forest photos of Catrine Sandberg
I really love misty moody photography, and would probably be happy if there was fog almost every morning. I love how scenery fades away and colours are obscured by the pale mist.
A photographer who make the most of these conditions is Catrine Sandberg whose magically moody images from Swedish forests I follow on Instagram.
She shoots and edits in a variety of atmospheric styles, but her blue-green toned deep images are my favourites.
This is just one example, and it is the look that I have sought to recreate with the Vinterskog film recipe.
To achieve this look, I have used Eterna Bleach Bypass, which is a truly amazing base simulation with lots of flexibility to create styles that just can’t be achieved with Classic Chrome or Negative. So, unfortunately, this recipe will be limited to those of you with the newer generations of cameras.
But … and this is a good ‘but’ … if you have an older camera, without Bleach Bypass, I have also made Vinterkrom, where I have tried to recreate this look using Classic Chrome.
