Why it exists
A film-inspired study of Kodak Ultramax 400 color references: vivid reds and yellows, golden highlights, and an honest, gently gritty charm.
Warm saturated color, golden-leaning highlights, punchy reds and yellows, and soft consumer-film grain across six finishing directions.
Open daylight, golden hour, bright overcast, and everyday interiors at 400 speed.
How the color is made
Real film. Real chemistry.
Graded by hand.
- 01Shot on real film
Every collection begins with real rolls exposed in real scenes — weddings, portraits, streets — not synthetic test charts.
- 02Developed with EVO chemistry
Negatives are processed with EVO chemistry for a clean base tone and translucent dye-layer depth.
- 03Scanned on the Hasselblad X5
The Hasselblad Flextight X5 records the negative's full texture and color response at reference quality.
- 04Corrected by hand
Each look is graded manually from those scans before it becomes a preset, LUT, or style.
