Differences between Plan Kiki and Degas
NATSUSOMARE HIGH-END LINE
"Established style"?
Or "infinite freedom"?
Natsusomare offers two pinnacles.
These uncompromising development and digitization plans are crafted with utmost skill
and take several times longer than usual.
Degas
"Like an Oil Painting"
A specially finished, established style.
Wet and profound expression, inspired by the works of Impressionist painter Edgar Degas.
Utilizing proprietary ICC profiles and a special dupe process, we achieve a "low-center-of-gravity" tone that resembles an oil painting.
More than just capturing an image, we give the atmosphere weight.
This is ideal for those accustomed to digital photography who seek the unique texture of film, or as a masterpiece for solo exhibitions and displays.

To enhance the beautiful distance and appearance of the couple, I aimed for a calm atmospheric layer. Adding a slight blue tint to the shadows expresses a serene moment.

Focusing on the color balance that best highlights their wonderful smiles, I meticulously adjusted the brightness and contrast. The skin tone is bright and healthy.

To preserve the unique texture and color of European buildings, I optimized saturation and shadow control to create a sense of depth in the space.
Since each photo has different subject elements, contrast balance is individually adjusted to naturally guide the viewer's eye.

⚠️ Notes on Retakes
Achieving ideal colors is predicated on "correct exposure." If information on the negative is lost due to underexposure (crushed blacks) or overexposure (blown highlights), physical color reproduction may be impossible, and we may not be able to meet your request. Please be aware of this in advance.
