Second wedding using only SOOC
Not talking about these pictures as the holy grail of wedding photography I'm very happy with them and the change on my workflow. This was my second wedding using only film recipes backed on my X-T5.
I have the camera LCD calibrated to match the MacBook Air screen so I see the closest to the final image in terms of color while working, the thing here was the light, that day was crazy, really hard light and strong shadows so I needed to play with that, some of the pictures needed a few fixes later in LR (highlights, shadows, etc, like 15-30'/photo). Also I found a few skins a little bit reddish, something I could easily fix.
The things I mentioned could be fixed straight on camera for next wedding (but if lighting conditions are different I'd need something different also) playing with highlights, shadows, WB microtono, saturation, DR and probably the base film Simulation (I have all in the Quick Menu), I belive this is based on Negative Classic, so it has contrast and reddish colors on highlights. Apart from that, I found a good way to work like this with minor film recipe adjustments during work, having 3-4 film recipes saved and 3-4 empty spaces so you quickly can change WB, microtone, DR or whatever for a certain light scenario and save it on an empty space for the current day, that's a big deal.
Hope you enjoy this, and obviously I'm taking JPEGs + RAW just in case, for the moment I don't wanna lose my reputation of almost 8 years as wedding photographer and videographer 😂. I also expect constructive feedback from you and know if anyone has a professional workflow with the recipes. I am currently considering starting to use the base simulations with very light tweaks and understanding each original Fujifilm simulation.
P.S.: Is a pain in the ass that if you are using a custom Kelvin WB with a certain WB shift, if you change the Kelvin temperature the WB shift overrides... So you need to check it before change the temperature and change it after. I reported this to Fujifilm a few months ago as something to consider for future improvements for professional workflows using SOOC.
