A Little Play, with VSCO Film 03

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, right?

I posted yesterday about Visual Supply Company's new preset pack, Film 03. I have to say, every time they release something new, it feels like my birthday. I love getting to play with their presets, find new favorites, and see what new range I have to run with. To be honest, I really don't like editing. If you know me, you know that. Most photographers don't! We like shooting, visualizing, planning, and then we like the end result. It's somewhere in the middle that becomes really hard to be excited about. But VSCO has really made editing feel like a little bit of Play with how unique and tight their presets are, and I totally love them for it.

I know you're like, what's so special about another film pack? Film 03 is really based on instant films (a little more about it here); it has presets based on both professional and consumer grade instant films, as well as a tool kit that has settings like Old Lens and clarity down, to give it that good old fashioned plastic lens feel. ;) I processed this shoot we did a couple months ago with the lovely Courtney (her blog here!) and fell in love with this look of imagining I did the entire shoot with instant film. I love that it is pushing my creative boundaries with my editing looks.

Have you gotten it and played around with it yet? Anyone have any favorites so far? ;)

Happy Monday! I'm so pumped to share a few peeks at the new VSCO Film Pack 03 that will be released soon. This particular film pack is a set of presets that are based on the look of a lot of instant films! They're quite different and so fun to play around with. I already have a few favorites!

Here are some examples of the new VSCO Film 03. I am in love with every product that Visual Supply Co. releases! They're rad folks with an eye for detail and love for a tight product.

The new pack has a bunch of B&W actions I really love - love the early pull. So good.

I love looking at this set of examples because you can really see the tone ranges that this pack has.

Side note: I have to brag on how rad our friend Beca is with her goody making skills! Look at these. If you don't want pie right now, you're weird.

And a little Bazan to show off the capabilities with high ISO / low light scenarios.

All of these photos were shot in raw on a 5D Mark ii, and processed with Lightroom 4.

I'm not being paid for this blog post, I just love sharing about VSCO because like I've said before, their product is just so good. Their presets work so closely with supported camera profiles that most of the time, you could edit a photo with one click as long as you're shooting raw!

So what do you think? Have you used VSCO Film packs before, and do you have any favorites? Do you have any favorites out of the ones I used in the examples?
