Deep Dive
Simulation Spotlight Delving into the world of FUJIFILM Film Simulations
A Film Simulation that is primarily designed for photographing people in natural lighting conditions, PRO Neg. Hi promises authentic colour reproduction – particularly for skin tones – and a tastefully increased level of contrast. Both PRO Neg. Hi and PRO Neg. Std were created to bring the look of colour-negative film to digital photographers, providing a beautifully natural aesthetic with a subtly muted colour palette. Where PRO Neg. Std offers a more natural lighting response better suited to studio work – allowing you to create your own dramatic lighting and photograph it accurately – PRO Neg. Hi has hardened shadow and highlight details, which provide increased contrast for characterful portraits even under fairly flat light. While intended for portraiture, this combination of dramatic contrast and slightly desaturated colours also offers excellent results for everything from street to architectural photography. With its largely neutral colour rendering and dramatic contrast, PRO Neg. Hi is also a great base to use for building your own Film Simulation recipes.
Ideal for the variable light of the winter months, PRO Neg. Hi offers dramatic yet natural images
