Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H Portrait Film Recipe (Portrait Version)
Japanese Color Tone for Fujifilm X-Trans IV Cameras
Mood: Japanese, Vintage, Warm, Bright
Fujicolor Pro 400H has become one of my favourite film recipes for Fujifilm I can play around with the colour palettes. I decided to fine-tune this film recipe for the portrait version after the first version of Fujicolor Pro 400H for streets and creative shoots based on actual film stock. The first version is a more blueish tone, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
So here we go with the portrait version that looks great for portrait shoots with greenery backgrounds. I know lately that I am obsessed with Japanese film-look recipes and I find the Fujicolor Pro 400H for portraits is the perfect film recipe to be added to the list.
Fujicolor Pro 400H Portrait Film Recipe
This portrait version of Fujicolor Pro 400H is best shot overexposed to maintain the contrast, slightly lowering the shadow and can also be overexposed up to one stop for creative portraits, well if you like this kind of look. If you want to overexpose your image, I suggest doing a low-contrast scene with good lighting without blowing the highlights, it might look a little flat but nothing is perfect.
If you want something more dreamy, the FX filters such as the diffusion filter also work best with the backlight portrait technique by finding the best natural light and try not to have direct sunlight behind your subject, if you get what I mean. If you don’t mind blowing the highlights, go for it, as there are no rules in photography when it comes to creativity. Alright, enough of mumbling here, let’s get back to the main topic.
Fujicolor Pro 400H film recipe portrait version is known as the best film simulation recipe for portraits, works excellently and is best used when there is greenery in your surrounding. You can use the exposure compensation up to +1 stop when using the backlight to create a dreamy cinematic film look.
