For me, the attraction isn't making digital footage look “old”. It's getting away from the overly clean, clinical character digital cameras can sometimes produce.
Travel and street photography is often about atmosphere as much as technical perfection. Light bouncing off an old building, neon signs at night, summer haze, a slightly dirty railway window or the texture of a street can be more important than producing the cleanest possible file.
The same applies when I'm making travel films. I don't necessarily want every highlight perfectly controlled and every surface clinically sharp. Sometimes a little bloom around a bright source, texture in the grain and a softer transition through colour makes the scene feel far more convincing.
That's where Dehancer fits my workflow. I can start with a real film-inspired profile and then decide how far I want to take the analogue characteristics rather than simply dropping a heavy cinematic LUT over everything.
I tend to prefer it when it's used with restraint. The objective isn't to make everybody notice the plugin. It is to make the final photograph or film feel right.
Dehancer isn't simply a collection of colour presets. Its current Pro toolset models several characteristics associated with analogue capture, processing and printing.
Start with different film stocks and Push / Pull variations rather than treating every image with the same generic cinematic preset.
Adds structure and texture in a way that can help digital images feel less sterile when used carefully.
Recreates the coloured glow and edge behaviour around strong highlights associated with film capture.
Softens and spreads bright light, something I particularly like around windows, street lights, sun and reflective travel scenes.
Adds subtle instability and movement associated with film transport for projects where a more analogue presentation suits the story.
Adds physical imperfections when you intentionally want the materiality of film to become part of the visual treatment.
Includes print-film and photographic-paper style rendering for building the look beyond the initial negative-film profile.
Camera profiles help connect modern digital acquisition with Dehancer's film-emulation pipeline across supported cameras.
What interests me is using Dehancer to create continuity without making every location look identical.
Grain, softer highlight behaviour and film profiles can work particularly well with observational street photography.
A travel photograph often benefits from feeling remembered rather than merely recorded with perfect digital neutrality.
Film profiles and analogue effects can help footage from different scenes and cameras sit together within one visual language.
Halation and bloom are particularly interesting around neon, street lamps, car lights, windows and illuminated architecture.
Dehancer currently spans both stills and motion applications. Exact versions and system requirements vary, so check the current requirements before purchasing.

Dehancer allows its products to be downloaded and tested before activation. Unlicensed output carries a watermark and the LUT Generator is disabled.
Colour is subjective. A film-emulation tool can have all the features in the world, but the only thing that matters is whether you actually like what it does to your photographs and footage.
Dehancer lets you download the software and work with the tools and film profiles before activating a paid licence. That is exactly how I would approach it.
Put some real files through it. Use footage from a trip, difficult mixed lighting, skin tones, a city at night and some everyday photographs. Try the film profiles first, then slowly introduce Grain, Halation and Bloom.
If you like the direction, then use SIMONSONGHURST when you buy.
