Larcomb Posted September 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2012 Any thoughts on which colour films render skin tones (any) most naturally in natural light? Negative? Try the Kodak Portra films or Fuji pro colour neg films. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalArts 99 Posted September 21, 2012 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2012 I agree about Portra as a negative film. I've always had difficulty with Fuji negative film in respect to getting skin tones right (when doing it myself with a dichro enlarger and RA processor.) Kodak PRN 100 pro color negative was a great film for flesh tones and with a slight bit more color saturation, but it's gone of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted September 22, 2012 Share #10 Posted September 22, 2012 Portra (160 or 400) or Fuji Pro 400H. Both processed in fresh chemistry. Then an hour or two of heaven in the darkroom under the enlarger, with your favourite music cheering your efforts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masjah Posted September 22, 2012 Share #14 Posted September 22, 2012 Pity about Fuji and Reala - it did a lovely job on skin tones - unless you're shooting MF that is - I think it's still available in 120. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
