Amidol

Seven stocks, on real photos.

Every photo here is a RAW file run through Amidol's own film engine, the same code the app runs on your phone. They came off two Sonys, a few Leicas, a Fujifilm and a Hasselblad, and every stock has one off an iPhone. Every look is the film itself, and nothing was edited after.

First, one frame on every stock. Then a roll of each.
