If you spent 20 years shooting film professionally, you probably don’t need this guide, since you will already be intimately familiar with the films of VSCO Film 01. By knowing each films strengths (and weaknesses), you can know exactly what to look for in a film and exactly when to use a particular film over another. Sure, you could click through all the presets in VSCO Film 01 and just see what I think “looks good,” but I think a much better approach is to really understand the underlying films which are being emulated. But I’ve always want more information about the films themselves. I’m a big fan of the film emulators VSCO makes for lightroom, and I’ve seen lots of other posts about VSCO Film 01. This is part 1 of my in-depth series on VSCO Film. Be sure check out my guides to VSCO Film 02 & VSCO Film 07.
