Yakisugi Film Recipe, by Mehdi Berrada

A deep tones film recipe using Classic Chrome simulation and dark shadows

Based in Morocco, Mehdi Berrada is an architect and Fujifilm photographer who shoots stylish images with his X100V. His film recipe, Yakisugi has been receiving lots of positive reaction, but had no web page with the details. So, here we have the Yakisugi film recipe, by Mehdi Berrada.

Yakisugi, if you were curious, is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation that involves flame treating the outer layer. The resulting colour palette is dark and charred, and this character comes through in the muted tones of this film recipe.

Nostalgic vintage Kodachrome look for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

When you really want to max out the retro vibe and take the Kodachrome aesthetic to another level, you need Retrochrome Plus film recipe.

Reminiscent of the Kodakchrome II recipe on FujiXWeekly, but with the mellow tone taken even further, this recipe is great in bright sunshine, wonderful with blue skies, and adds creamy drama tones to everything else.

Alta Vista, with Soft Turquoise Skies

Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for X-Trans IV with a teal tone

When I started my working life, Alta Vista was the no. 1 search engine, and Google was a curiosity that hadn’t yet taken off. Anyway, what about this recipe?

Sometimes, when I see an image, I experiment in X Raw Studio to see if I can recreate the style from some raw files. Quite a few of my recipes start out this way, and then move to the camera for testing.

Alta Vista is one such experiment, but in this case, I ended up with a very different look than I had intended. I was quite taken by it, and I decided to embrace the strong teal tones. And, because it’s all about the sky and big views, I went with the name Alta Vista.

Kodak Portra Daily, for Portra 160 Anytime

Classic Chrome film silmulation recipe with Kodak Portra style tones

I originally devised this Kodak Portra style film recipe to give a classic Portra 160 35mm look to photos taken on a trip to Wimbledon. I realised soon after that I loved shooting with it, and the recipe needed a new name to reflect its versatility. So, Kodak Portra SW19 has become Kodak Portra Daily.

Depending on which samples you look at, Kodak Portra film images have a lighter balance and either a subtle green tone, a pale pink tone or creamy tone to the highlights and neutrals. My original Kodak Portra film recipe covers the creamy look, Kodak Portra 66 covers the pinks, and this recipe covers off the greens.

It’s got quite a bit in common with other Portra recipes (there are more linked at the bottom), but for this recipe I chose an auto white balance to make it more useful in a wide range of conditions.

So here is my, ‘use anytime Kodak Portra’ for use at tennis tournaments, and everywhere else!

Westworld, Go West in Kodachrome Style

A Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for use with Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Bring yourself back online. Here’s a really useful film recipe for your trip to The Park. It has a bit of everything that’s great about Classic Chrome, with retro Kodak aesthetics, a subtly altered colour balance, and slightly muted highlights and saturation. It reminds me of the classic Kodachrome 64 look.

I’m a bit of a Westworld geek, and to mark the return of the mind bending HBO series for its 4th set of episodes, I’ve named this recipe Westworld. But, whether you enjoy watching the journey of Dolores and Bernard or not, this is a wonderful choice for all sorts of photos with a classic Kodak vibe.

Kodachrome Daily for Everyday 64 Style

Get a Kodachrome 64 look with Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Classic Chrome is a wonderful film simulation in it’s base configuration, and with a few tweaks it can be shaped to give similar looks to the much loved Kodachrome films from the late twentieth century.

As with some of my other Kodakchrome recipes, this one is a result of iteration and experiments with the Fuji X Weekly recipes, that are rightly so popular with Fujifilm photographers.

This film recipe retains the slightly turquoise blues of Kodachrome with Classic Chrome, but is a little softer than other recipes, making it useful as a daily driver. It also uses an auto white balance, meaning it can adapt to different conditions more readily, and be tried indoors.

It’s a daily Kodachrome 64 look, with all that’s great about Classic Chrome in a single recipe.

Oceanic 815 for Deep Ocean Blues

A lot of my film recipes feature soft tones or faded tones for a nostalgic look. Sometimes however, it’s good to have some deeper tones to help style the image in a more impactful way.

I developed this recipe for a specific purpose. To shoot images of the ocean from up on the cliffs above. It’s aim is to enhance the blues of the sea and add some stylish contrast to a scene. It should be great for beach holidays and coastal walks. Just don’t get LOST.

Creamy Kodak Portra film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X-trans IV cameras

Some things seem to be made to go together, and in our world of film simulations and recipes, it’s Kodak Portra and fading Americana. Think of an abandoned gas station on a dusty desert highway. Creamy tones and washed out colours give a nostalgic feel. It’s the retro look of a trip along Route 66.

I haven’t been to the American West in about a decade, so I developed this recipe closer to home. I took it out and about on a city walk in Winchester and on some walks in the New Forest.

Retrochrome for a Warm, Nostalgic 70s Style

Nostalgic Kodachrome style film recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Add 50 years to a scene by shooting with Retrochrome! It’s the film recipe that whisks you back to the 70s and those warm, mellow summer evenings.

Retrochrome uses the Classic Chrome film simulation, with a warm colour balance based on the shade setting, and reduced saturation for mellowness. The look would suit images of anything aged, like classic cars, old buildings, thrift store finds, or maybe just your morning coffee or natural scenes in sunny weather.

The look is similar to a Kodachrome II or 25 aesthetic, although it is not based on these films in particular.
