Kodak Film Looks
Warm midtones, golden skin and gentle highlight roll-off — the house that defined colour photography.
Eastman Kodak invented most of what the twentieth century meant by colour photography, and its emulsions share a family resemblance: midtones lean warm, skin renders golden, and highlights compress gently rather than clipping. Portra is the modern archetype, Kodachrome the historic one, Tri-X the black and white that shot the century's news. The house exceptions prove the rule — Ektar and Ektachrome 100VS both push cool and saturated, and both were built to answer Fuji.
