In this episode of Weekend Salaryman, I’ll be taking a closer look at one of Fujifilm’s most underrated film simulations – Velvia.
Often overlooked for its vivid colors and slightly dated reputation, Velvia produces punchy and dramatic JPEGs right out of camera. Join me as I spend the evening wandering around Euljiro in central Seoul, capturing candid street moments in a street photography POV using only the Fujifilm X-S10 and Sigma 18-50mm lens, along with a Kenko Black Mist Filter No. 5.
Through a variety of nighttime scenes under the signage and lights of Euljiro, we’ll analyze how Velvia handles exposures, colors, shadows, and highlights. I’ll also delve into the history of Velvia and share my thoughts on why it’s such a fun profile for street photography that often gets an unfair reputation. By the end of the video, you’ll have a better understanding of when and where to use Velvia to its full potential straight from the cameras JPEG engine. Whether you’re a Fujifilm shooter looking to diversify your style or simply interested in street photography, I hope this video leaves you entertained and inspired to try out a sim that often gets overlooked.
