The images looked somewhat like film, but it wasn't quite there for me.Ī fellow wedding photographer told me about Mastin Labs. I wasn't wanting the hipster style of editing associated with VSCO today, it's too cliché. Unfortunately VSCO didn't quite hit the nail on the head with their presets in my opinion. I used some VSCO filters here and there to get that true film look I was seeking. I have really come to love the profiles of these films and began to look for ways to simulate that in digital.Īt first I went with VSCO, since it was the only company I knew of that made film presets. My film endeavors first began with Ilford's HP5 and Kodak's Portra. However, my editing style in digital never really matched up well with the profiles of film I was shooting. Over that past year or so I have began to integrate film into my professional workflow.
However, I am beginning to see more and more hybrid photographers that use both film and digital professionally.
It's not likely that film will be used more than digital, do to cost and time. Surprising to some, film is back, and on the rise. For some time many thought that film would eventually die out since digital is so much easier.
