Effect

Film Bw

Black-and-white film stocks with grain and characteristic response.

Black-and-white film is not the absence of colour so much as a chosen response curve, grain structure and spectral sensitivity. Orthochromatic stocks saw blues and greens differently from panchromatic ones; each lab and paper grade added further character.

This effect leans on that tradition: mono structure with grain and response that feel photographic rather than a flat desaturate.
