That’s what you see me doing in the video above. The Prolost iPhone LUTs convert Apple Log to various other color spaces, and support three kinds of workflow: Grade Under a Display Transform LUTĪpple Log is a totally decent color space to work in, so color correcting Apple Log can be as simple as applying Magic Bullet Colorista and choosing one of my Monitor & Grade LUTs. Creative LUTs are great, and by all means support the folks making them - but that’s not what my iPhone LUTs were or are.

My day job is, in part, helping make color tools like Magic Bullet Looks, which can do so much more than any LUT. There’s been a bit of a gold rush of people hawking creative LUTs that apply a particular “look” to iPhone Log footage.

I’d had some time to process my Peru deadlock, and decided to stop judging my own creative impulses, and let inspiration guide me in which camera I pulled out. Made in TaiwanĪ month later, I took a family trip to Taiwan, one of my favorite places in the world. Photography, for me, is made up of a lot of habits, and shooting iPhone video with aesthetic intent is just not yet baked into my travel muscle memory.

I lugged it around for a few days, but wasn’t really feeling it. But sometimes FOMO gets me and I pack three zooms.įor my trip to Lima, I brought my Sony a7RIV with the uninspiring-but-compact Sony 35mm F2.8 prime. I always have a moment when packing for a trip: Which camera to bring? Which lenses? I know I’m always happier when I pack less, like just a single prime lens.
