In this “SoundBite” (as we’re calling it) from Episode 06 of SOOC, Fujifilm X-Photographer Nathalie Boucry and I discuss three film simulation recipes that are good for portrait photography. This is a short snippet from the show, and it gives you an idea of the type of content that’s found in a SOOC broadcast. If you missed Episode 06, I’ve included it below, so you can view it in its entirety if you’d like.

Episode 06:
Should you choose only one outdoor recipe, would you prefer the performance of Portra 400v2 in shade or Pro Neg Hi in sunshine? In other words, which one performs better in a wide range of situations?
The Portra 400 v2 recipe, in the right light, is phenomenal, but Pro Neg Hi does well in a variety of situations. The Portra 400 v2 recipe is more narrow where it performs well compared to the PNH recipe.
