"The fact that we see so many of these art installations pop up is a great thing," Jeremy said. It started with a group of six friends who wanted to help champion Steffi's dream of creating something interactive and showing her art to the world, said her brother and museum cofounder Jeremy Tsui. ![]() It’s unique because other installations in DFW, like Sweet Tooth Hotel, Psychedelic Robot and Candytopia, were constructed by various artists. Some guests who stopped by the museum have traveled from as far as Louisiana and South Carolina to experience the installation, which was all done by one artist, Steffi Lynn Tsai. The museum on Main Street in Old East Dallas has drawn local social media influencers, along with anyone with an enthusiasm for taking pictures. How to get the film look using Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop 1.A nostalgia for growing up in the '90s and early 2000's marks the walls at Museum of Memories, the latest art gallery in DFW that was created for guests to take pictures with colorful backgrounds and installations. This guide is about recreating the film look with colour photographs, but see this guide to recreate the black and white film look. If you’re using a smartphone, we’ll go over an app designed specially to give you the film style of photo.

We’re looking to remove some of the sharpness (if your camera generally produces very sharp images), reduce or adjust the colour saturation, leave some noise in there (and add some more), adjust the background (if needed), and reduce the dynamic range captured – sacrilege, I know! Shoot raw, because this gives you an image file that has not yet been processed, which means we’re more able to tailor the look of the image to what we want.

What makes a film photograph so unique?įilm colour is often muted in comparison to today’s cameras, with yellow tones if you use certain brands, or types of film, with the added grain from the film, as well as often lower dynamic range.Īs film cameras use a 35mm film, this means they generally have natural background blur, and depending on your current camera, you may need to add additional background blur to your image. We’ve included guides on how to use Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO FilmPack 6 or a smartphone to create film-style photos. Why?
