Meyerowitz: Iconic Colour Film Emulation

Meyerowitz Fujifilm Film Recipe

I try to emulate Joel Meyerowitz's iconic colour look from the early 1980s with this Fujifilm Recipe.

Joel Meyerowitz is a prominent American photographer known for his pioneering colour photography work. Born in 1938, he was crucial in elevating colour photography from a medium considered suitable primarily for commercial and amateur purposes to a respected artistic expression. Meyerowitz's career took off in the 1960s when he began to use colour film, a deviation from the black-and-white tradition of photography at the time.

His photographs often showcase the streets of New York City, depicting daily life and capturing the essence of the urban landscape. His work is characterized by a keen sense of observation, masterful use of colour, and a talent for capturing fleeting moments. Meyerowitz's images are vivid and evocative, revealing the poetry in ordinary moments. His contribution to the photography world earned him numerous accolades and exhibitions in prestigious museums and galleries, solidifying his place as a pioneer in the art of colour photography.
