This portrait version of Fujicolor Pro 400H is best shot overexposed to maintain the contrast, slightly lowering the shadow and can also be overexposed up to one stop for creative portraits, well if you like this kind of look. If you want to overexpose your image, I suggest doing a low-contrast scene with good lighting without blowing the highlights, it might look a little flat but nothing is perfect. It is also one of the best film recipes for wedding photoshoot, compared to other custom settings. Check out the pre-wedding photoshoot with Fujicolor Pro 400H recipe results for sample photos.
If you want something more dreamy, the FX filters such as the diffusion filter also work best with the backlight portrait technique by finding the best natural light and try not to have direct sunlight behind your subject, if you get what I mean. If you don’t mind blowing the highlights, go for it, as there are no rules in photography when it comes to creativity. Alright, enough of mumbling here, let’s get back to the main topic.Â

Hi Ivan,
absolutely stunning sample portraits here! It’s a while that I hadn’t used the FujiXWeekly’s Fujicolor Pro 400 H recipe. Might be because this recipe always seemed difficult to me for portraits because of the hard contrast due to dark shadows (eyes are difficult here).
But your version might bring the solution towards a greater versatility or a easier handling of shadows in the eyes.
My first test shots with it were really fun!
Best,

A really good recipe for portrait, combined with filter kf concept black mist 1/4 ND variable and against sun, result is great. Thanks a lot for your creativity and sharing.
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying the recipe and getting great results with the K&F Concept black mist filter! Thanks for the feedback, and happy shooting!
