Photo Forum / Film Photography / Film and Labs / October 2004B&W film for optimum skin tones.
Which B&W film gives the best allround yield for portraits, beauty/glamour and fashion photography in a studio environment using professional 500w/s monobloc units and lighting accessories. Good practical and professional advice would be very much appreciated. I use a Mamiya RZ 67 with 110mm and 180mm lenses. Rather than changing films, consider controlling the skin tones with filtration. A yellow or orange filter will make skin lighter, with less of a distinction between reddish and whitish skin. If you want skin a little darker, with more of a distinction between reddish and whitish areas, use a green or blue filter. > Which B&W film gives the best allround yield for portraits, beauty/glamour > and fashion photography in a studio environment using professional 500w/s > monobloc units and lighting accessories. > Good practical and professional advice would be very much appreciated. > I use a Mamiya RZ 67 with 110mm and 180mm lenses. > Which B&W film gives the best allround yield for portraits, beauty/glamour > and fashion photography in a studio environment using professional 500w/s > monobloc units and lighting accessories. > Good practical and professional advice would be very much appreciated. > I use a Mamiya RZ 67 with 110mm and 180mm lenses.

If you are shooting fashion try a red or orange filter to minimize facial imperfections. A roll of film is cheap enough that you should just buy several types and see what you prefer for your application.
