hey friends!

i've been posting snippets of vscofilm06 on my instagram and some of you have asked my thoughts on it. i, by no means, am the master of editing, but i always love reading/seeing before and afters of the new presets to see if they're worthwhile.

i'm a die-hard vscofilm01/05 fan - i love the portra's, the fuji's, and recently in the 05, the agfa's. but i never really could master the warm/brown tones - and that's what this pack seems to do really well. now, i personally they are heavily contrasted right off the bat, so once you apply the preset, be prepared to do some tweaking unless you love what you get!

side note: i will say, i did notice some wacky skin tones. and a lot of them are heavy on the blues.

anyway. i've been told so many times, and tend to agree, your image is only as good edited as it is first in camera - meaning, get your exposure, focus, composition right in camera, and editing will be super easy. i tend to under-expose, but you don't have to! i've included the raw jpegs (which was super intimidating and left me feeling really vulnerable!) for you to compare.

here's some stuff from recent shoots! enjoy!
