Lomochrome 92, Deep Contrast Muted Color

Lomochrome Color 92 film recreated with Classic Negative for Fujifilm cameras

In the Film Recipes Facebook Group, we often discuss how to recreate a particular look seen elsewhere, whether that be the style of a photographer or a film from a particular manufacturer. One of our members asked recently about the unique look of Lomochrome Color 92 film, with its deep shadows and speciifc colour appearance.

When I saw the sameple images (I’ve included one here), I was compelled to try and reproduce at least a similar look for our Fujifilm cameras.

The key elements were the color tone and low saturation, the deep shadows, creamy neutrals and heavy grain. To me, this all seemed possible by working with Classic Negative as a starting point.

My process involved a lot of fiddling with settings in X RAW Studio, working with RAW files from visits to forests, beaches and, to include some people, a tennis tournament from earlier in the year. Here is my resulting film recipe, which I have been enjoying testing out in the wild, and am pleased to share here with you now.

This recipe has been available as an early releast in the Film Recipes app for the past few weeks. The app is always the best place to find all of my recipes, including many more that aren’t available anywhere else.

A high contrast, low saturation style, inspired by the Lomochrome Color 92 film.

  1. Been a huge fan of your recipes for a while. I took your ‘Daydream Believer’ and ‘Sherbert Sunrise’ recipes with me on a holiday around Wales and they produced lovely results. Thank you for sharing your incredible ideas!

    I have a question – do you have a recipe for Lomochrome Color ’92 – Sunkissed at all? Or something close in equivalent. Or the Lomography Turquoise & Purple for that matter, though I suppose they would be harder to emulate. I used a roll of Sunkissed a while back and loved the results, but as I’m not that schooled in film photography, I don’t know what emulsion it originally came from. Thank you in advance! Keep up the excellent work.
