Why Your Digital Photos Look Too Clean (And How Film Emulation Fixes It)
I was editing press shots for my band late one night, somewhere around 1 a.m., when I realized the photos looked like a dental office brochure. Sharp. Bright. Perfectly exposed. Completely soulless. We’d rented a decent venue, worn the right clothes, and the lighting had actually cooperated for once. But something about the RAW files from my Canon R6 made us look like stock photo models instead of a real band with real gigs.
