People should still look like themselves, even when good light is not part of the plan.
Portra 400 starts with skin tones, not studio walls. They stay natural, highlights stay soft, and color never takes over.
In 120, the larger negative makes the grain look even smoother, holds more detail, and gives tonal transitions more room. Its ISO 400 sensitivity still makes it easier to keep shooting in lower light, while small exposure mistakes are less of a problem. That is why Portra 400 became a standard for portraits, weddings, fashion, travel, and everyday life.
