charbry Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've noticed a trend with fashion photographers achieving this specific look when shooting medium format film? It seems to be able to be produced not just at golden hour, and has a particular sense of softness as well as the unique colour? I wondered if it something that can be achieved in scanning or even in digital post? Can anyone help?

mikheilrokva Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm sure film format has nothing to do with overall tone of image. It's more of a filter thing. But whether it is an optical filter, or instagram filter, is a different story. I'm rather skeptical when it comes to stuff posted via an application which has embedded filters for images.

Colin O Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This kind of tobacco hue has almost certainly got nothing to do with the film stock/format. Also nothing to do with scanning. Scanning is just a way of converting film to a digital image. It should not be intertwined with digital editing. Almost certainly this look is achieved through post-processing. This post-processing could be careful use of controls such as Levels, Curves, Hue and Saturation, or it could just be a "one-click filter" such as those offered in Instagram and similar apps. Have you tried contacting the photographer to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 My Android phone's image editor has a built-in 'vintage' filter that gives the same faded colour as the linked example. Starting with film is totally unnecessary. Such filters can be applied to any digitised image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Kevin Kubota, Gavin Heim and others product PS and Lightroom actions (or presets) that produce this look. As others pointed out, it doesn't matter where the image started . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck909 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just for fun I pulled out this old slide of my sister and about 3 minutes later gave it somewhat of the look the OP is searching for. I used the NIK add-in. (Please don't tell my sister I said "old") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck909 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Looks young to me. Back in 1970 she was for sure. I certainly burned up a lot of film on her, her girl friends, and my girlfriend. The amazing thing is just how easy it is these days to take a photo from the days when I was learning and then to turn it into something that's not half bad (American "not half bad"). Maybe if I get ambitious, I'll get rid of the power lines. Edited October 11, 2018 by chuck909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
