Kodak Gold 200 (KG2)

Kodak Gold 200 is a colorfully vibrant, medium contrast film. A consumer film, KG2 is designed to be versatile and reliable in a wide rage of situations. The film is forgiving and remains remarkably consistent as exposure changes. Add a medium or low amount of grain for an authentic look.

Kodak Portra 160 (KP1)

KP1 is praised for producing beautiful skin tones and vivid colors. When overexposed, the reds and oranges are especially vibrant. When underexposed, however, the film quickly becomes muted and subtle. KP1 is optimized for outdoor portraits, especially in even, flat light. Add a small amount of grain for an authentic look.

Kodak Portra 160NC (KP2)

Designed specifically for professional portrait and wedding photographers, KP2 was part of the original Portra series from 1998. The film was celebrated for capturing natural colors and skin tones in controlled lighting scenarios. With its slightly lower contrast, KP2 was unmatched in professional portraiture.

Kodak Portra 160VC (KP3)

Designed specifically for professional portrait and wedding photographers, KP3 is part of the original 1998 Portra series. Like Portra 160NC, this film is prized for producing natural skin tones. It differs, however, in yielding greater contrast and more vivid colors.

Kodak Portra 400 (KP4)

KP4 is a versatile, all-purpose film renowned for its vibrant colors. If you are unsure what filter to use, this film is a natural starting point. KP4 produces natural skin tones, making it a go-to selection for wedding and fashion portraits. Add a small amount of grain for an authentic look.

Kodak Portra 800 (KP8)

KP8 is a medium contrast, low light film. Overexposure increases saturation while retaining natural skin tones. Underexposure fades the shadows and mellows contrast, producing a slightly blue tone in some lighting conditions. KP8 also handles difficult lighting scenarios as daylight fades. Add a small amount of grain for an authentic look.

Kodak Portra 100T (KP9)

This unique tungsten film has an overall blue cast and noticeably lower contrast, which makes it perfect for lamp-lit settings of subjects, or for when you want a more faded film look. Warm colors all get darker and richer, moving towards red-orange, while blues become lighter using this preset. Note: I’ve noticed photos that contain a lot of white look brighter.

Kodak T-MAX 3200 (KT32) | (BW)

KT32 is a high contrast, grainy film. When underexposed, it loses contrast and quickly fades. Overexposure increases contrast to high levels, creating a dramatic mood. KT32 is well-suited for photojournalism, street photography, and concerts. Add a large amount of grain for an authentic look.
