Urban exploration film recipe in a Kodak Portra style
Kodak Portra Urban
When I travel into a city, I still have my photography itch, and will often go for an early walk from my hotel before breakfast. Golden hour in an urban environment is often quite different in feel to the mornings and evenings in my usual forests and country lanes, so I’ve put together a recipe for such occasions.
I’ve looked to captured the harder brightness of a city environment, along with the creamy Kodak vibes of the Portra style. The result is this urbex film recipe for taking city walks and street photos in a Kodak Portra style.
