If the recent Portuguese Summer recipe has been my go-to choice for capturing the vibrant colors of summer, this new Black & White film simulation that I’m about to share has been the default for documenting life indoors. Not that it doesn’t work outdoors, far from that, but I feel it truly excels in capturing the intimacy of everyday life while adding an extra layer of nostalgia.

This new Fujifilm film simulation is softer than my original Black & White recipe and less tinted than the Colored B&W, so I think it strikes a nice balance between those two and is more versatile because of that.

It works in any Fujifilm camera with a X-trans IV sensor or superior, but even in previous generations you should still be able to get fairly close if you ignore the monochromatic color tint.
