Panasonic Lumix S1
The Lumix S1 is part of the kit I use for my current projects, where I’m far more focused on controllable results than I was at 21. On To Freddy I tried to bake the look in-camera because I didn’t understand grading—now I prefer having more flexibility and a more deliberate workflow.
