Film Looks: Overexposed Portra 400

  • When it comes to film photography Portra 400 is the KING of color film. When I first started shooting film everyone raved about the "Overexposed Portra" look and today I wanted to see if I myself could achieve that same look. In this video, I share my thoughts.

    I’ve been on the exact opposite side of the dog situation. I was walking my dog in my town’s historic district and there was a couple getting their engagement pictures. The photographer randomly asked if they could take a picture with my dog and I happily obliged. Then after they got a few shots with my dog some guy with a 60s MG convertible offered to let them take a picture in his car. That couple definitely had an interesting save the date.

    It's really refreshing hearing an honest opinion about Portra 400 since it's such a popular film stock. It's also great to hear some love for Fuji Superia, since it usually gets a lot of flack for it's colors and for being a drug store grade film. Great portraits!

    @mateoguevara1153 4 года назад +9

    If you dig that soft look try shooting portra 160 @ 100. I feel like you have to over expose portra 400 by at least 2 stops to get that soft pastel look w/o digital manipulation and it can mess with the colors a bit. Portra 160 is naturally a bit smoother and lower saturation, and if you are scanning at home I find it easier to get those tones when the negs arent too dense

      @behindeachfilmgrain 4 года назад +4

      Let’s say my box speed is 400 asa and I hand meter at 200 asa (1stop over exposed) and shoot the entire roll at 200 asa. I then take to the film lab and tell them to process it 1stop over in development to get the look I want. There are lots of resources that will better explain what I am telling how to do it but essentially that is how I go about it. Hope that helps you better understand the process.

      @cdl0 4 года назад +3

      @@kameraloserproduction3521 Simply set the ISO (ASA on old cameras) used by the light meter for the camera to a smaller number than the rating given for the film. So, for example, if you have ISO 400 film, as in the video, set the light meter to, say, ISO 200 or 100, depending on how much overexposure you want.

Over exposing is shooting a 400 speed film at iso 200, meaning he already exposed for an extra stop of light and developing the same as if he shot at box speed (which is what he did in this video). Pushing is (for example) shooting at the same 400 speed film at 800 iso (underexposing by 1 stop) and then leaving it in the development tank longer to make up for the 1 stop of under exposure. (Which is NOT what he’s doing in this video) so there is no need to develop any differently if you already over exposed in camera.

      I've shot with one before, they are actually kinda fun and the lens has a cool look to it.

Not the easiest camera to start with but it is fun.

      you can also overexpose by asking the lab to "push", or develop, longer (i.e. shoot at box speed then have them develop at 800 speed). Contrast would be deeper and on other film stocks grain will be more pronounced, but I find that isn't the case with portra, same with contrast.

    Rookie question, when you shoot 400 film at 200 instead, are you still developing like if it’s 400? Is there anything different going on in the development process? Or is it just setting for 200 before shooting and metering that way? Thanks!

    Still learning, but isn’t over exposing going up a stop? You said you are using portra 400 but your camera on 200 iso? Should it be 800 iso? Excuse the noob question
