Classic Chrome film recipe with cream tones and deep contrast
Marcel Fraij is a photographer and educator based in the Netherlands. He has an inspiring style, often including detail views of textures, forms and partly blurred figures. His themed galleries are especially improssive, and you can explore some of these on his photography and recipes site.
I’m a big fan, so it was great to chat with Marcel recently about a new recipe of his. As you’ll see below, it has a distinctive creamed and contrasty Classic Chrome style, that is particular suited to holiday and vacation shots, or scenes including wood and sand textures.
Marcel suggested that I share this recipe here with you, and I am very happy to be able to do so. The guest recipes on this site provide another perspective on film recipe looks, and I’m excited to add Re-Analog to the collection.

My First Images with Re-Analog
Inspired by this amazing recipe, I’ve made some images too. It’s such a great look for trips to the beach! I love the blue skies with this, but also the general look of the gallery as a whole.

Hi, I like the way this recipe deal with shadows!
How to use the recipe with xe2? I get close results without some of settings from xe4 sensor?

I think that’s a good idea. You’ll get a great look with that approach.
