Introducing Cellar 100:
A Journey Into Shadow & Silver
Step down into the Cellar 100, where light and shadow collide in true European black-and-white tradition. Inspired by classic high-contrast film aesthetics, this filter is a love letter to the darkroom era — moody, temperamental, and unapologetically bold.
Like a roll of vintage stock unspooled in the dark, Cellar 100 thrives on extremes. Streetlights at night glow like molten silver, neon signs bleed with halation, and midday shadows cut across sidewalks like blades. From blurred headlights in motion to stark geometry of tunnels and alleys, this filter transforms ordinary scenes into cinematic stills with grit and atmosphere.
The Qualities We Chased
Classic Tonality
Smooth, traditional rendering that echoes the darkroom era.
Strong separation between deep blacks and bright highlights for a punchy, graphic look.
A gentle curve that feels vintage, avoiding the overly polished feel of modern digital processing.
Dreamy highlight glow where light blooms and spreads softly, creating atmosphere.
What Makes It Distinct
Dense Silver-Like Depth – Blacks that feel rich and weighty, with a luminous contrast.
Dramatic Skies & Shadows – A tendency to darken foliage and emphasize silhouettes, giving outdoor shots a cinematic edge.
Nostalgic Glow – Highlights that flare and shimmer, adding imperfection as character.
Street & Documentary Energy – A natural grit that thrives on movement, cityscapes, and fleeting everyday moments.
The Cellar Aesthetic
Punchy Contrast – Blacks sink into deep wells, whites blaze into brilliance.
Textured Shots – Not sterile, but alive — every shadow feels hand-printed.
Archival Feel – Images echo with the spirit of 1950s–1970s darkroom work.
Unforgiving Latitude – Highlights clip, shadows swallow — that’s the charm.
European Edge – Rougher, moodier, and more human than modern B&W.
Why “Cellar 100”?
We chose the name because this filter feels like stepping into a cellar of photography history — dim, gritty, mysterious, yet filled with treasures. Like a forgotten shoebox of prints or a reel of nitrate stock humming in a projector, Cellar 100 rewards patience, practice, and a taste for the dramatic.
The test shots say it all:
Street corners at night glow with halos and silver highlights.
Traffic blurs become streaks of light across deep black backgrounds.
Architectural relics render with crisp, toothy detail.
Tree-lined paths and fountains carry tonal weight, balancing stark whites with textured shadows.
Each frame reminds us: imperfection is the point.
A Filter With Personality
This isn’t a “safe” filter. Cellar 100 is moody, dramatic, and even unpredictable. Clipping, halation, light leaks, what some might call flaws, are part of the signature. Used with intent, they create images that feel less like digital snaps and more like archival prints found in a forgotten library basement.
