I LOVE shooting Cinestill800t, being both a photographer and a DP I’m biased towards the naturalistic, nostalgic, cinematic images that the film stock is notorious for producing. My only issue is that it’s very difficult to shoot during the day due to the tungsten white balance. The tungsten white balance of the stock makes all the colors shift towards a very unflattering shade of blue while taking photos during daylight hours. So after doing some research I found a very easy workaround: buy an 85B filter and slap it on the front of your lens. This forces the tungsten white balance to shift towards a daylight white balance, meaning it will give more natural colors in sunlight. There is a small trade-off though, unfortunately, you lose a stop of light when using the filter. So it makes the Cinestill800t more like a Cinestill400d in practice.
To test my research out I grabbed my buddy Khalil to shoot some portraits around Bushwick, Brooklyn and I have to say I am VERY pleased with the results. The images came out with a beautiful warm glow that complimented my subject's skin perfectly. And the stock held up very nicely in a variety of different lighting scenarios.
Thanks to The Small Darkroom for processing and scanning the images: [ Ссылка ]
