I’ve experimented with black and white photography a few times during my photography career, but I’ve always leaned toward color. It felt more natural to me and suited the photos I took.
In November 2022, I bought the Fujifilm X100V (one day, I’ll write about why I chose it), and like many owners of this camera, I started exploring its film simulations. It’s a really cool option to have, especially if you prefer shooting only in JPEG (although I’m a RAW guy), but it wasn’t quite for me.
In September 2024, I decided to set my X100V to shoot in RAW + JPEG, making the JPEGs black and white using film simulations. Since I got some great shots with this experiment, I’ve decided to share them. I’m continuing with the experiment for… who knows. Until I get bored, I guess.
Non of these photos was edited later, it was all Acros film simulation directly from the camera (ok, I may have only changed the angle of some photos).
