Kodak TRI-X 400 BW Film Sample Photos

Looking for Kodak Tri-X 400 sample photos — and for portraits on film with real analog film grain and tonal depth, not clinical, over-sharpened DSLR digital portraits? These frames show Tri-X’s organic texture and timeless character across three cameras: a Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 (120, 6×4.5), an Olympus XA (35mm), and square 6×6 portraits on a Hasselblad 500 CM with Kodak Tri-X 400 120. ArtByPino showcases this analog look for clients who want portraits on film.

The first roll was shot on 120 with the Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 at Centro de Congresos de Querétaro in Santiago de Querétaro — lobby behind the cable-net glass facade, angular and twisted structural columns, El Bumeráng by Manuel Felguérez on the terrace, and a plaza kiosk. Developed in standard black-and-white chemistry.

A second roll was shot on an Olympus XA (35mm) in Santiago de Querétaro — the twin towers of Templo de la Congregación (La Congregación), the baroque cloister at Museo de Arte de Querétaro (MAQRO, the former Convento de San Agustín), and the exterior of Centro de Congresos de Querétaro.

These samples mix 120 on a Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 (6×4.5) at Centro de Congresos de Querétaro, 35mm on an Olympus XA around Templo de la Congregación and Museo de Arte de Querétaro, and square 6×6 portraits on film on a Hasselblad 500 CM — real analog grain and tonal depth, not clinical DSLR sharpness.
