35mm Film Simulation for Portraiture & Lifestyle Imagery

This LoRA is trained to replicate the gentle, balanced look of Kodak Portra 400, a beloved analog film known for its natural skin tones, pastel palette, low contrast, and soft color rendering. Compared to my Portra 800 LoRA, this Portra 400 version is more tame and refined — with less grain, less aggressive contrast, and a smoother color rolloff. It’s designed to excel in portraiture, bringing a warm, timeless character to fashion shoots, lifestyle photography, editorial sets, and emotional storytelling.

While Portra 800 tends to shine in niche setups like low light scenes, night photography, landscapes, objects, and still life, this Portra 400 LoRA is more of an all-rounder — delivering excellent results not just for people-focused imagery, but also for environmental scenes and analog-style compositions. It renders Asian skin tones beautifully, with gentle warmth and authentic analog texture.
