Kodak - properly known as Kodak Eastman - was founded in America in 1888 and dominated the "Western" world of photography for the next 100 years, constantly in fierce rivalry with the Japanese Fuji. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems. A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. Fortunately the photography business has survived under the Kodak Alaris name - based in Hertfordshire, England - and they have delighted the analogue industry by pledging continued support for film production and the promise of bringing back old favourite emulsions.

Here is a shot using Portra 400 at box-speed.
One of the most neutral close to life films in terms of colour accuracy. Film can be easily pushed with great retention of details in the shadows and great results.
Is there a better go-to for photographing people? Not really. Can it do more than just portraits? Yep. Should you waste Portra on shots without skin tones as the main subject? I'd call it sacrilege really. There isn't another colour negative film stock that looks as good as this.
Love portra 400. I feel when you take a picture on a real sunny day and you have a vision in your head of how the image will turn out, portra400 is the film that delivers.
If I could only pick one film stock to shoot for the rest of my life I would choose Kodak Portra 400. It's a quality film that holds its own in nearly all situations. But it really succeeds in keeping natural skin tones, in harsh lighting.
