Fuji Recipe: John Bulmer Style

• Film Simulation: Classic Chrome (for its muted, vintage tones and cinematic look)
• Dynamic Range: DR200 (to retain detail in highlights and shadows)
• Highlight Tone: -1 (to soften highlights and add an overcast look)
• Shadow Tone: -1 (for a flatter, documentary feel)
• Color: -2 (to create the desaturated, muted colors Bulmer often used)
• Sharpness: +1 (to emphasize textures and detail subtly)
• Noise Reduction: -3 (to introduce a more natural, film-like grain)
• Grain Effect: Weak, Small (for a subtle film texture)
• White Balance: DaylightWB Shift: +3 Red, -4 Blue (to give a slight warmth, mimicking vintage color films like Kodachrome or Ektachrome)
  
• ISO: Base ISO (e.g., ISO 200 or 400) for daytime shooting, or ISO 800 for low-light work.

Best Shooting Tips for Bulmer’s Style

1. Lighting: Embrace natural, diffused light—overcast days or soft window light work best to match the muted look.
2. Subject Matter: Focus on working-class life, industrial settings, or rural landscapes with human interaction for storytelling depth.
3. Composition: Look for layers, leading lines, and natural framing that tell a story without being overly staged.
4. Lens Choice: A 35mm or 50mm equivalent lens is ideal for capturing environmental portraits or wider documentary shots.
5. Post-Processing Tip: If needed, slightly reduce contrast or add a faint vignette to create an aged film look.
