Osage Prairie at Dawn
Rodrigo Prieto wanted a low-contrast period-photographic feel for the Osage prairie scenes — single soft sunrise key with naturally-occurring atmospheric haze providing the global fill. No movie-light supplementation on the wide shots.
Shot on Kodak Vision3 5219 negative; Company 3 colour applied a custom film-emulation LUT mimicking 1920s photochemical contact-print output.
