Unusual and unconventional film recipes that push the limits
Every now and again it’s worth throwing the rulebook out and seeing what happens when you push the Fujifilm settings to places they weren’t necessarily designed to go. These recipes are the results of those experiments — some bold colour treatments, some strange combinations, some genuinely odd-looking results that nonetheless work.
None of these are daily drivers. But if you want something that looks unlike anyone else’s photos, or you’re curious what the camera can actually do at the extremes, this is the place to look.
A shortlist of 40 experimental recipes pulled from across the site and the Film Recipes App. These sit at the bolder and more unusual end of the library — ranked here by user popularity, which is perhaps a measure of how many photographers share a taste for the unconventional. App-only entries are flagged.
