No screen to check. No preview. Just a Nikon F5, a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400, and waiting for the scans.
I'm usually the one behind the camera. Not this time.
Ultramax is the cheap stock most people skip because they think a real film portrait needs Portra, and I get why, but look at the skin tones here. Warm. Grainy. Forgiving. I'd shoot it again.
Scanned by myself.
Ultramax or Portra for portraits? Tell me in the comments.
