Kodak’s Professional Portra 800 film stock is reminiscent of Portra 400, only more grainy with added contrast. It has extraordinarily warm tones, very good exposure balance, and while its grain is more noticeable it’s still very pleasant looking and adds an extra taste of texture. The high ISO makes photography ideal for lower light shooting, perfect for reception dinners, moody portraits, and blue hour landscapes.
The added grain is aesthetically pleasing and gives a natural texture.
This is one of the fewer film stocks on the market that can actually handle low light conditions.
Skin tones are real-to-life and blend lovely within the picture.
Brand: Kodak
Product Type: Film Stock
Best For: Photographers looking to create with Portra 400’s color profile, but with a higher ISO for low light compatibility.
