You’re so refreshing to the photo & video community these days. So much photoshop and over edited BS. It’s so refreshing to find people focused on the purity of the art. Photos that speak for themselves and don’t need to be overstated to be powerful. Love your work man - keep it up.
Haha, I switched to Astia a month or so ago…completely agree!
Thanks for the video, as someone who overthinks editing and makes me dislike sometimes the process, is wonderful to see how you could get great results without too much time processing the image. Btw, on the second pic, where you talked about colour theory, actually there´s a purple on a horizontal strap on the right. So you could have play with that and the blue, to create more depth and having a different visual path for the eye.
ayye faizal thanks for this! you’re one of my biggest photography inspirations right now, really enjoy watching you shoot and edit!
I’m glad to have stumbled upon this video and your channel. Looking forward to more content that you put out!
Thanks for this video! Just getting back into shooting after an extended break for education, and it was really helpful to go through a few basics of editing. With the X100V, you don't need much apart from film simulation and basic edits which is great. I found this like a mini editing tutorial :)
I've heard a lot of people trashing on Astia since I bought my first Fujifilm camera about 8 months ago. Because of that I haven't used it much. Glad to see someone championing this film simulation--will definitely give it a try now!
LOVE the first photo that’s actually on the miniature! Absolutely amazing!
Great video Faizal :) I own the Fuji X10 which has been YEARSS untouched, but thanks to your videos, I've been getting my hands on it. The camera lacks Classic Chrome and other latest film simulation features but I'm loving the Astia feature so far! Sometimes I'll increase the highlight tone and play with the color 😊
thanks so much for this mate ! i just picked up the original x100 and been trying to figure out the best way to process the images. like u say, it's best to keep it simple and not get carried away with editing 👍 cheers mate !😁
I mainly shoot pro neg hi jpegs with increased saturation and contrast but seeing your edited photos, I might try out astia again! I remember shooting astia when I first got my x100f, I wasn't a fan of the low contrast high saturation look of it. Maybe I'll try adding some more contrast to get the look that I want, thanks for the video!
Thank you for this reminder that editing doest have to be super stylized as to what we mostly see online nowadays. Most times i find my edits very discouraging because of what i see online and i tend to forget the simpler the better
thanks just what i needed received my x100v today so this is on point !! 🤣👍
keep up the good work your videos are great and you pictures are awesome !!
So glad I clicked this video. I’ve been shooting my xpro for a year sooc jpgs and somehow never knew you could shoot raw and use Lightroom for the Fuji presets.
I think I need to make this point clear, while Adobe gets close to what they consider Astia or Provia colors, there is a big difference getting a JPEG out of a Fuji camera and processing one in Lightroom.
Really chill vibes from faizal, great video 😁
Just found your channel as I am starting to get back into hobby photography after too long of a break. I did a lot of street in the past and usually shot RAW. I am considering just going to JPEG instead. I usually did three styles when converting RAW -- Acros, Astia, or Velvia. I mostly did Acros, but a B&W conversion is easy from color. My edits were very simple like you, a few tweaks in contrast or highlights, add a slight vignette, and basically done. Like you, I wanted the subject to be the focus, not my editing. Great channel. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for the Video! Well done. Was great to see how your process is
nice video bro - and like your calm, clear manner also.
I tend to shoot JPEG Provia and punch up the colour +2, highlight -1 and shadows -1. Has worked well for me andI tend spend most of my workflow In exposure and curves ... and I always seem to end up cropping something!
I love how you showed how Astia works against darker skin tones - I have aways wondered about the effectiveness as I assume generally when skin tones are mentioned they are referencing to lighter tones (possibly my incorrect assumption!). I will def try this going with Astia for my next shoot and see if I like it.
Thanks gains Faizal and you got yourself a new sub!
Thanks for the video! Also, having a fujimfilm camera is one of my dreams
This is pretty cool to see! I do so much editing, I guess I just need to get better at taking photos
Now that I learned everything about Fujifilm cameras thanks to Faizal, the only thing left is the camera itself lmao. Currently saving up for one, I'm sure it will be a good investment.
if you plan on using presets in lightroom in post, will you usually just use provia/standard for your film simulations while shooting? (editing the jpeg)
Thanks for this Faizal, I'm in a similar spot right now where I focus on minimal post-processing so it's always great to compare notes.
Digital Astia looks more like film Provia did, could be why you like it so much!
I wish Fuji X Raw studio had just a few more tools (namely cropping, spot removal) and it could be all I need.
Thanks man! Less is more when it comes to editing street photography imo
Grab the free capture on for fujiFilm
Love your style, Faizal. Moving from Canon to Fuji... Hi from Scotland!
Just bought your Analog 2.0 pack, more than anything to just support your channel. Really appreciate your craft and effort
Hey Faizal....LOVE This video... thanks to your channel I'm taking my X-t2 out again...purchased the 18mm 2.0... having FUN...why in LR do the Fuji presets not show up? I get "artistic 1" etc? I am on the latest LR version. Do I need to download the presets? I went o the Fuji site but did not see anything.. Thanks for the video and your passion!!
i've been using classic chrome for basically all my edits, but i just tried astia on a few i've been working on and i might be converted 👀
Nice video. When I got my Fuji I was in love with Astia, but nowadays I barely use it, I will give it another try!
Hey Faizal, thank you so much for your videos. They help a lot! I appreciate the way you talk about the topics and your honesty very much. Stay unique, young man. Peace, Jann
Been shooting Jpeg+RAW ever since moving to FUJI. Sometimes I'll add or subtract a third of a stop or change to B&W from color. I absolutely love not having to spend anytime on the computer besides importing images.
That's right, unplugged is the real photography. I don't hate editing but to me it takes away a lot of the beauty and purity of photography.
How do you do that? I just started using a Fujifilm camera (X-T4) I got on a black friday deal and that's one of the things I still don't understand.
Hei Faizal, do you use to sharpen in lightroom your RAF file, or keep them as in raw for a more filmic look? Vero good pictures!
I had ZERO clue Lightroom had simulations for my fujifilmx100V already installed! Thanks!!!
Nice. I've usually uses Velvia and Classic Chrome, but will give Astia some love. I'm also a big fan of less time sitting at the laptop and more shooting...
Hi. Love your channel. Im in doubt with buying the xt30 ii or the nikon zfc. Help please! I never saw any video getting panning photo, long exposure or you know any techinique on the xt30. It seems is just all about film simulations and creamy pictures. Is that it?
Is there a known difference in output between applying the film simulation on Fuji X Studios vs. LR?
What about just setting the option in the preferences to import the raw file with the settings the camera assigned to it?
Astia is a hidden gem, thx a lot!!
Hello Faizal, thank you so much for your work and being so inspiring. You actually are the one who finished convincing me to get myself one and... I don't regret it at all! Huge fan. I have one question though: I tried to apply the Profiles on Lightroom but I am afraid that this function disappeared. Can you confirm that? So so so sad... I'm a newby in editing and it would have save me some time. Thanks anyway, I'll go finish watching all your channel. Hello from France! 🇫🇷
Thanks a bunch man! As an X100V shooter myself this was really helpful. Totally agree with your opinion on Astia, I used classic chrome a lot but lately, I’ve been using Astia for getting that fine balance of saturation and vibrance. Really loved the chill and fine vibes of the video. The color grading, sounds, and edit are splendid! Keep up the great work! 🖤
That was a great photograph you were working with. Nice work.
Monday is a good day for posting stuff!!
Always been doing Friday, but maybe this will be the second upload day 🤔
Loving the bloopers at the end 😂❤❤❤
It's 12 midnight where I'm from but this'll be worth it
My favorite film simulation is Astia too!!Glad i chose fujifilm...
Hey, can you do a video about the black and white Film look on the Fuji?
easy now faizal, hope this ones a banger. im making a cup of tea, putting my feet up and looking forward to seeing this. greetings from the UK.
Uh oh, haha I'm trying out premiere and I already know I hate the suspense it creates lol
Trying these tips out right now!
Wanted to try this but why the “camera matching” option doesn’t appear on my lightroom, I use fuji xt20 and the latest lightroom
stumbled onto this wonderful channel not to long ago and i want to say thanks for you well thought out amazing videos. it's really inspiring me to pick up my x100v and shoot more. i do have a question if i may. can you import into camera or even into the edit process other simulation looks? if so where would one go to find info on this?
to ellaborate at 6:50 would i be able to find other profiles online and import them here?
I *hoped* you were going to say Astia! I love it, it’s the look that got me interested in the X100V to start with…
Very helpful. Thanks!
thanks man, what about the screen? imo it differs a lot on what screen you are working
Switched from Canon to fuji and YES Astia is my favorite
Switching the front button to AE lock for S mode is a game changer for me.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I let the photo tell the story. 99% of the time I shoot jpeg. The fantastic Fuji sims provide all I need. The few times I use editing is to fix very specific aspects.
that helped alot! thank you very much!
very dumb question but, do you need fuji camera to get this look? Or can i be using a sony camera and still achieve this look by editing? I;m a complete beginner sorry.
awesome video! Curious what camera and lens you use when you record these videos, the colors are great, are you also shooting astia? thanks!
I was wondering the same.
I shoot Astia like 95% of the time !
I love the classic chrome look (especially the sky) but i feel bad about the desaturation
Do you get worming in lightroom? if so how do you deal with it?
Astia, so underrated!
I’ve found myself shooting only jpeg as of late with a Portra 160 recipe I found and just can’t stop using it 🤣🤙🏼 it’s the tones 😉
Where is that cart next to your desk from ?
Thanks. Finally I found what i need.
I bought an X100V back in April. Got a used one for a good price which is hard to do, right? Anyway, I’ve tried different simulations dialed in, classic chrome, and then I found Astia… It is my favorite to use when shooting jpeg or to apply to raw. Alos, thanks for the super easy lesson in editing. Less is more and for me I do find this to be true with my editing style. Love your channel, Faizal! 🙏🏻😊
Astia, I noticed, tends to shift reds to pink. There seems to be a magenta tint even in Fuji's examples.
It does. A bit more noticeable in some images more than others.
what's the song in the beginning of the video?
I'm still undecided between Classic Chrome and Astia. I do appreciate that the colors are more accurate with Astia but I also really like how the sky looks with Classic Chrome. As an everyday camera, taking photos of friends, family, etc I use Classic Chrome. I'm also into EDC and for that I use Astia.
Which camera did you use to take these pictures?
Always Interesting content here, thank you Faizal. I like how you present your content here , the information and thoughts you share, keep it up. Will be checking out your vids here, re-watch most of it...it's that good. Greetings from the Philippines.
I have always swapped from shooting raw to just shooting jpeg. After watching this, I may switch to shooting RAW+Jpeg. The reason being that's there's been times where I have shot in the awesome classic chrome only to realise, that the image would actually look good in Astia or say acros. I guess this way gives me the option to play with other fuji sims using the raw at a later stage.
That´s it. Jped simplifies your life by limiting the post-editing, and, therefore, forces you to get familiar with the simulation you chose in camera. I think that´s a valid way of seeing things, especially with a x100v in hands. But I also keep on saving the raws aswell, notebly for the sake of experimenting/learning in this post shot moment we call editing.
I can’t get Lightroom to do the split screen view by pressing Y or Shift + Y. Has this feature changed?
Is this in the Develop module? I don’t seem to have this feature in my Lightroom.
Anyone?
a video i would love to see is how you organize your photos after a shoot, decide what to post etc! Do you keep mediocre photos or are they deleted?
I'm very lazy when it comes to photo organization. I don't delete any of my photos, I just buy more storage lol
Can I get that on my Lightroom if I shoot Sony?
Going back through my photos, I feel that they are over edited, to get the style I preferred then, as you said, the work is done in the camera.
Are those film simulations in Lightroom accurate in comparison to the one rendered on the Fuji camera directly? I assume they tried to recreate the effect of each simulation and you're obviously using a raw file in Lightroom, but I doubt you will end up with 100% the same end result, since you're not making use of the actual Fuji sensor / chip for rendering.
Maybe the differences are very subtle and neglectable - I was just curious if you ever felt like you're simulation in Lightroom (pre editing) doesn't look like the jpeg
I notice you didn't apply any lens corrections?
What lightroom version is this?
For my client work I deliver 90% of photos in ASTIA. For my family life I use classic chrome 90% of the time lol.
Why don't you edit and use jpeg (since you are not overly editing ) and save only raw file in your archive?
Great edits! As for myself I'd use Astia more if it weren't for the way it produces reds. I often find reds in Astia to be too pinkish for me.
is it not why it looks great on skin ??
@@sebastienmoal9587 could be
In order to see those color profiles film simulations in light room do I have to shoot in raw?
You do
@@FaizalWestcott thank you!
Hey are you usually in NYC? I’d love to sit and chat with you some time.
Hey brother, a friendly suggestion: Record your video talking bits in Astia too, to really highlight your style. If you're already doing that, freaking awesome!
What's the website he's visiting?
even though all my pictures are shot on raw and on fuji I can't see the camera matching feature on all my photos
Huh. Which version of Lightroom are you on?
@@FaizalWestcott its called just lightroom not lightroom classic
I’m surprised you don’t edit with capture one since i heard it works great with fuji’s X-trans sensor.
Anyways Faizal love your vids !
I started out with Lightroom and so that's what I'm used to. I tried C1 and I just couldn't get used to it. But honestly I don't see the problem with Lightroom anyway, it works fine with Fujifilm.
Good stuff! I’m on the same note - editing should just supplement to get the vision you originally had and the story documented rather than a complete transformation and rework
Why
Coneeeyyyy❤️
My heart jumped bcoz of Blackpink Rosé, i know that’s her on the billboard haha!
yessssss
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed using Astia haha
Astia gang 🤟
Astia is my go to, but it takes all the pinks and purples out of sunsets, so it's not great for everything.
Rosé looked like a titan 😂
I always loved the astia simulation. Not sure why it never gets praise like classic chrome does
i love this Thumbnail
thanks! might be my favorite so far
Easiest way to master film sims, shoot food. because it is something you see so often, you'll see clearly what each sim does.
Astia deserves a lot more credit than it gets. Classic Chrome is a bit overrated :P
