Instagram inspired film simulation recipe using Eterna for warm muted images
Do you follow inspiring photographers on social media, and want to achieve a similar look in your Fujifilm photography? I’m often inspired, and will try and make a recipe to get a similar look.
One such photographer is Gareth Llewellyn, known as withgar on both Instagram and Threads, and in his images there’s a characterful warm and muted look.
I love this, and so I’ve made this muted tone film recipe based on this inspiration.
My recipe is close to some of his images, but of course it isn’t an exact match.
So, being similar but different, leads to this recipe name, similar but different to his handle.
Wigan Pier is a versatile and forgiving look that softens extreme light and works especially well in soft light, such as in the golden hour.
I’ve been testing it a lot over recent months and I’ve come to find it a favourite new look, bringing cosy and cinematic tones to my photos, and making me feel at least a little way towards achieving a social meadia winning look of my own!
I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe, and let us know what you photograph in our own social club, the Film Recipes Facebook Group.
