Channelling The Early Days Of Colour Film

There is something about early (50’s to 70’s) colour that really talks to me. Reds, yellows and green-browns in particular jump out, partly for their iconic relevance and partly because Kodachrome film favoured them.

Kodachrome circa 1975? Maybe even a little William Eggleston, Harry Callahan or Harry Gruyaert.

Not sure about this one, but it screamed “film” to me.

Fuji Velvia maybe, the next wave of films that championed blues and cool greens, but struggled with skin tones.

Back to Kodak colours.

The early Olympus sensors and processors had a very Kodachrome feel.
