Lo-Fi

I’ve always wanted to create a cinematic Fujifilm recipe, something that feels intentional, moody, and true to a moment. Melbourne winter has been feeling extra quiet lately, and I thought it was the perfect time to make that idea real. Desaturated, soft, and a little distant.

Lo-Fi is built on Eterna Bleach Bypass. Colours are muted and shadows hold just enough detail. It is not meant to pop, it is meant to linger.

I have tested this with clarity between 0 and -2. For the sake of the recipe, I will leave it at 0, especially if you are using a bloom filter or diffusion glass, which adds that soft cinematic glow naturally.

Try it when the light is flat or when it is too bright. Either way, let the silence do the talking.
