Summary
The photos from the 80s had something that seems difficult to replicate today. More organic colors, soft contrasts and a sensation that digital photography, despite its precision, often loses. In this video we explore why that look is still so attractive, what changed with the arrival of digital and how today some cameras (especially with film simulations) try to recover that aesthetic.
