Kodak Portra 400 135/36
Kodak Portra 400 is the benchmark professional colour negative film for portrait and documentary photography. At ISO 400, it balances speed and image quality in a way that few other films have matched: natural skin tones, fine grain for its speed class, and a highlight latitude that holds detail well past the point where most films blow out.
The colour palette is warm and slightly desaturated — flattering in portraits, accurate in editorial, and versatile enough to scan well across different workflows. Shoot it in natural light, mixed light, or outdoors and it handles each scenario with a consistency that makes it a dependable choice rather than an experimental one.
Responds well to push processing and overexposure by 1–2 stops. The results get softer and dreamier, not muddy. Standard C-41 processing.
