Classic Negative film recipe developed by travel photographer Tomas Derner.
Tomas Derner’s Classic Negative
Fujifilm photographers travel the world and it’s so exciting to see their journeys captured using film simulations and recipes. Once such photographer with especially striking image series is Tomas Derner (see his Travel Stories).
Tomas kindly shared details of his Classic Negative recipe, developed during travels in Bangladesh. It’s grainy and deep toned, working wonderfully with the skin tones and vibrant colours that he captures in such compelling style.
Tomas had the following to say about the recipe, “I recently developed a coloured film recipe based on the Classic Negative Fujifilm film simulation. This recipe is particularly well-suited to brighter scenes, although it can work in other situations as well. I highly recommend experimenting with this simulation and seeing how it can enhance your photographs. Good luck and have fun!”
A bit thanks to Tomas for allowing me to share this amazing recipe with you all.
