Nostalgic classic negative film simulation recipe, like Kodak Gold prints

Kojak Gold. It’s a cool name, right? It’s an even cooler look!

It’s true that I get a silly amount of personal satisfaction from some of the film recipe names that I dream up. Hot on the heels of some of my other favourites, like Mother Superia, Karmachroma, Waldorf Astia and Flatpack is this new name for a retro Kodak film look. What could be more 70s than Kojak?

Living up to it’s name, this recipe looks to produce a nostalgic look based on Kodak Gold film, with a feel like 35mm prints from this popular film stock. It’s based on Classic Negative (which means newer cameras only, sorry), and uses a warm gold-like colour shift and a generally soft set-up, including negative clarity and reduced sharpness.

The results are warm and film-like, with a soft feel and nostalgic print style look. The nostalgic elements come through in sunshine, but the recipe is a good choice for a film like look in all conditions. I took it on holiday with me and it became an instant favourite. I’m sure that you will love it too.

Did you know? This is film recipe 200 on this website. Who knew there would be so many film recipe styles that our cameras could produce?
