The three Kodak Portra films are without a doubt the most popular choice for analog photographers working in color. Coming in the speeds of ISO 160, 400 and 800, these films offer a professional level of image quality for even the most demanding applications. While conceived as portrait films, they are also widely used in fashion, commercial, lifestyle and fine-art landscape photography. If you see a high quality editorial shot on film today in 2022, the likelihood that it was shot on Portra is high. However, beyond Kodak's data sheets (which are somewhat of a riddle in themselves...), the information on Portra found online seems rather unreliable. Results vary greatly - because everyone has their own workflow, and because the many variables at play make comparisons difficult to carry out. This is where this course comes in: offering a detailed, in-depth analysis of the three films and how they respond to under- and overexposure using a color checker and gray card as a reference point. There's a portrait setup as well as a landscape one, to really evaluate the film's performances. As a bonus, there's a comparison to digital and we also look at some analog C-prints of all three films to compare them with the findings from the scans.
