Film recipes inspired by Kodak film stocks
Kodak film stocks — Portra, Ektar, Ultramax, Kodachrome — have been the reference point for colour photography for decades. The warm palette, the skin tone rendering, the particular way they handle highlights have become shorthand for what a photograph should look like.
These recipes take those qualities as their starting point, using warm white balance shifts, lower contrast and colour chrome settings to get as close as possible to the Kodak character. Some are quite faithful to specific stocks; others take the general mood and run with it.
These recipes are drawn from both the site and the Film Recipes App, ordered first by how closely each recipe was designed to capture the kodak character — from direct interpretations through to inspired-by looks — and then by popularity within each group. App-only recipes are included and marked 🔒.
