What this look does

A low-contrast rendering with restrained saturation and slightly cooler midtones than Portra 400. Highlights hold detail a long way up; shadows stay open and slightly grey rather than crushing to black.

About Kodak Portra 160

Also carries the discontinued 160NC and 160VC emulsions as separate variants. NC is the flatter, more clinical option that colourists tend to reach for as a base; VC adds contrast and colour without tipping into consumer-film territory. At ISO 160 this was always the studio and tripod film of the family.
