How to make your photoslook like film.

How to turnyour $6000 camera

into a $6 one.When everyone’s using the same gear, that means stories are being told in the same way, and probably look the same. This

means a diminishing amout of surprise we can give to the people we make work for.

There’s a reason cinematographers agonise over lens choices, and when camera manufacturers are making everything sharper and cleaner (its hard to put “make it fuzzy!” in a

technology roadmap), here’s a few ways to dial it all back.

Dehaze! Dehaze!




1.

Dehaze sliders in Lightroom

Dehaze sliders remove haze one way, and add it the other (who knew!). The next best thing to ruining

Bokeh Panorama

More than just a great way of filling your hard-drives, these multi-shot portraits emulate how century old

cameras render space. See slide #58 for how to do it.

Bait andSwitch




3.

Shutter priority mode

Set shutter priority (TV mode) to about 1/15 second. In this way you’ve always got that romantic

filmic ambiguity on speed dial.

4.

Selective shadow dodging

Selectively mask in a lightened--shadow layer in Photoshop. This emulates the natural, imperfect

wear of a print over the years.

Freelensing

Freelensing

Take your lens off. Turn it sideways, upside down, back to front. This emulates the movements of

century old cameras. See slide #29 for how to do it.

Put a stocking over it, m8

This old trick still delivers. Just stuff a damn stocking over your lens. I use black

ones. Experiment with stretch and layering.
