Hey guys! First of all, congratulations to everyone who contributes to this forum and especially to the founder who came up with this brilliant initiative. I recently found an influencer on Instagram who uses a Fuji camera as well as her recipes to achieve the result below. Would anyone know a recipe for a Sony camera (a6300) to obtain the same color result? Thank you to anyone who can contribute! Big hug to everyone https://www.instagram.com/maurathamara/

You won't be able to get the exact same look sooc on a Sony camera. And I am not sure these shots are sooc jpgs either.
It looks to me she is using Classic Neg as a base, and she might be editing a bit the colors afterward.
Unfortunately, you cannot replicate classic neg with a Sony camera. I've tried many, many times, and it's not possible, so I don't think you'll get the exact same colors from a Sony, but maybe similar, and I'll explain why.
First, please notice how she is only shooting in black and white scenes. Very neutral white balance, no color casts, and no other colors included in the scene. So naturally the blacks will make the skin tones pop a lot more, compared to a color full scene. She is using the black and white scenes to put focus on herself, which is the most colorful subject in the frame.
So basically, if you shoot in a similar context with a monochromatic background, you only have to choose a Sony film simulations that renders skin tones similar to this one. It will give you a similar look in the same contexts, just without the highly tinted shadows. You can add a blue tint in the shadows afterward in lightroom mobile.

With Sony cameras you won't be able to get such highly tinted shadows SOOC, but then again, I am not sure if these are completely SOOC either. They sem slightly for a couple of reasons.
First, these colors reminded me of Classic Neg or Nostalgic Neg because of the the tinted shadows and the color science. But then I started noticing the shadows in some of these photos are extremely saturated, more than classic neg would naturally be able to, which made me think these might be edited. Then I noticed the trees and grass in the background are too yellow for both Nostalgic Neg and Classic Neg color science, which again makes me think she used classic neg but continued editing in lightroom to get a more refined look?
Also, the plants in this shot are completely desaturated and blue? while in the far distance are yellow. Usually, classic neg desaturates greens and shifts them towards blue. So it's a bit wierd.
It's hard to say 100% sure, but I am leaning towards these being at least slightly edited.
