Fujifilm cameras have the unique feature of having a preset set of analog films and their styles. Digitally replicated, those are not just filters in those systems – they are a day-to-day tool that can drastically change the experience photographs give to a viewer.
Each camera has several predefined recipes. But things not stopping here. To enhance creativity, Fujifilm systems can make their own recipes and use them. Here I’m keeping track of those I made during the RAW editing process and worth saving.
Nostalgic ambient
This recipe was created during the Easter trip to Wernigerode. The town’s unique look and my personal memories of it brought nostalgic and retro-fairytale childhood memories which this recipe is supposed to represent.

Berlin stoic
Another recipe was created during the same Easter trip. Berlin this time was opened for me more from its history. Visiting places like the East Side gallery, Tempelhof airport, Reichstag building, and checkpoint Charlie brought this feeling of the cold-grey and hazy sky, desaturated but well-defined colors this recipe uses.
