Film recipes that make colour the dominant, unapologetic subject of the image.
Bold colour recipes are not about accuracy or restraint — they are about making colour do something. Whether through high saturation, strong contrast, or the particular behaviour of a vivid simulation, these recipes all push colour to the foreground and make it the story. The images they produce are not necessarily loud, but they are never neutral.
They work best in bright conditions with strong, clear colour in the scene — primary colours, vivid foliage, painted architecture, markets, flowers. Give them something to work with and they deliver.
