Seven Recipes for Slow Light

A Fujifilm series inspired by Leica, cinema and the art of seeing quietly

Seven Recipes for Slow Light is a series of nine articles about the Fujifilm recipes I built over the past several months, one per simulation, each born from a different inspiration. They carry the prefix CW, my personal signature. The recipes work on most recent Fujifilm cameras with the same film simulations available.

1. Introduction — Where the series begins..

2. CW – Simple Standard — The clean color foundation of the CW series.

3. CW – Mono Simple — A black and white recipe built for human moments.

4. CW – Typ 113 — A recipe born from borrowed light.

5. CW – Victor Séguin — A recipe inspired by the cinematographyof Les enfants vont bien.

6. CW – VS Mono Soft — The cinematic black and white companion.

7. CW – CCD KAF-18500 — Chasing the Leica M9.

8. CW – Q3 Analog — A recipe built on research and homage.

9. Afterword — On seeing slowly.

Blog — The blog picks up where the series leaves off.

The series is complete. The blog keeps going. Reflections on slow and contemplative photography, on the instruments we choose, on the experience of making photographs, with the CW recipes as a starting point, but not a boundary. Posts appear at the rhythm of weeks and seasons.
