Portra 400 Mediterraneo

A soft-spoken ode to film tones, sculpted light, and the warmth of the Mediterranean.

Inspired by Real Portra 400, Shot in Italy.

Not a simulation. Not just “film-like.”
This collection is inspired by real Kodak Portra 400 film, metered for shadows and lovingly scanned on a Frontier — capturing the softness, warmth, and cinematic elegance of photography across Italy’s most luminous locations.

From sunlit villas to cypress-lined gardens, this is where timeless Portra meets a life well lived — with every tone crafted to feel like the afterglow of a summer memory.

Whether you're shooting a coastal elopement, a quiet editorial in Tuscany, or simply dreaming of Lake Como — Portra 400 Mediterraneo brings the golden spirit of film to your work.
