Film review: Kodak Portra 800
Saturday 14th sep, 2024
Introduction

Portra 800 is arguably one of the most popular color films of all time, and for good reason. I love every aspect of this film, from grain to color rendition. The main reason I chose the 800 ISO over the more popular 400 version of the film is because I love the grain!

location

I spent over an hour on multiple occasions walking up and down the high street, looking for photo opportunities. Here are some from the first session

And since it was a 36-exposure roll, I had no shortage of shots, so I took some around Brighton and wherever I had my camera.

conclusion

This is personally one of my favorite multi-purpose films. It gives depth to an otherwise shallow shot, and once again, I cannot tell you how much I love the grain and texture of this film stock. The only thing stopping me from using it all the time is its high price point at £22.50. You can find the film here
