Photography Question

Prom Pictures


I've already asked this question once but misplaced the information. I need to take pictures at prom. Lighting is low but I do have additional light. I do not want the enlargements to be grainy and I was told to use Portra 160 film. However, can't remember if it was VC or NC. I normally use a one hour photo and they have always done extremely well with my developing. Can they process Portra film?

  Either NC (Natural Color) or VC (Vivid Color). Both are formulated to render natural skin tones.

Portra is a C-41 process color print film that can be processed anywhere. Your best bet for prints is a professional/custom lab.

  A pro-lab will be better and perhaps alot cheaper.
