Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Everyday monochrome film recipe for capturing a wide range of subjects with high grain and contrast

For the most part I shoot in colour, and I enjoy a softer look. From time to time though, I dip into black and white photography and find myself getting excited about light and shade all over again. When I do, I tend to love bright light shooting and film recipe with deep shadows and visible grain.

I’ve had these phases of black and white excitement with three recipes in recent months. Firstly, Olympic Acros, which I used in Paris in extremely sunny conditions. Secondly, Tirolean Mono, which I took on a vacation to Austria and found it my favourite recipe in the mountains. And now, the third time is with this latest creation. I call it Newsprint because of how it was designed with old newspapers in mind. In truth this has more contrast than printed papers would ever show, but the thought was there.
