LomoChrome Metropolis – Creative Film Recipe for Fuji X-Trans IV

LomoChrome Metropolis Creative Film Recipe - Fujifilm X-Trans IV

Looking to create something creative out of your Fujifilm mirrorless camera? The LomoChrome Metropolis creative film recipe is one of the latest addition of film simulation custom settings for creative shoots whether it is for portrait, landscape or street photography.

This custom setting is suitable for the newer X-Trans IV sensor cameras, the Fujifilm X-T4, XS-10, X-E4 & X-T30 II.

What LomoChrome Metropolis Film Recipe Is All About?

Inspired by the LomoChrome Metropolis 35mm film, this recipe is created with the Fujifilm Eterna Bleach Bypass base film simulation to achieve the muted tone. Since I don’t have any creative film recipes on my Fujifilm recipes, this might be the new addition to the list.

This film recipe is great for creative photography. I’ve added a few different White Balance Shifts to create different colors including purple color tones. You might also want to try the Cira 800 for a low-light shooting style.

We all know analog film photography is more artistic compared to digital photography but by using this Lomochrome Metropolis film recipe, you can still be artistic when shooting digital. By shooting SOOC JPEG, you will require less time for post-processing.

Strong grain is added to mimic the actual film look. The sharpness of images can be adjusted or reduced to match your style.

How to Shoot

It is recommended to shoot overexposed when using film recipes for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras. It works great when shooting in good natural light or bright golden hour sunlight casting over your subjects to achieve a high contrast effect.

This is just my suggestion for the recipe to work but you can experiment with trial & error to make this film recipe works. Sound challenging but fun, right?

Although it might not be 100% accurate, but this recipe is good for daylight photography and is one of my first creations for creative photography use.
