New Recipe Update – Marcel Fraij – Seven Fujifilm Recipes

I’ve written this before, there are few who are able to create good recipes.
Many recipes that can be found on the internet are based on recipes from those few.
To make a well-balanced recipe you need a trained eye, knowledge and/or the necessary photographic experience.
And every now and then you find someone who has it.

Marcel Fraij is a fine art photographer and was trained for this at the Royal Academy in The Hague.
He is also an art and science teacher at primary schools in the Netherlands.

Seven recipes accompanied by a series of refined works of art, showing the essence of each recipe.

My personal favorite is number 4, Acros Dark.
Black and White photography is very underrated, that it still comes standard very flat and gray from most cameras doesn’t help either, even Fujifilm’s simulations aren’t much better in my opinion.
This recipe could make all the difference, check it out!

1. Pro Negative Plus, A better Pro Negative simulation: sharp, nicer tone and color.

2. New Scala, After the analog black & white slide film from Agfa.

3. C201, Very suitable for sunny outdoor shots, backlighting and coastal photographs.

4. Acros Dark, A moody dark simulation. Works well with backlit shots, contrast, shadows and abstract subjects.

5. Slide Film, My digital interpretation of my analog set-up: FujiFilm Velvia and Leica. On request at : info@hemelsteen.nl

6. New Portra, Everybody loves a good Portra. This is my go on the famous Portra.

7. Urban Vibe, Inspired by the photography of Saul Leiter. On request at: info@hemelsteen.nl
