A Journey Within Pink
“I’m a big believer in textural emulation. For this project, I tried subtle lens edge distortions, slight chromatic shifts, and fine film grain to give the image more character. The goal was to keep the emulation invisible, avoiding anything too heavy-handed or obviously artificial. For this, Kodak’s 250D emulation felt like the perfect fit. I graded through a custom log-to-log negative pipeline, finishing with a very soft print layer at the end. The result was a delicate contrast structure with rich cold and warm undertones.” - Max Golomidov, colorist
