I advise to stick with what you know
I find that Portra is a nice film to scan too, but never tried the new Ektar ... shouldn't be any drama ... you scanning youself?
Do photogs still use film for fashion shoots!
Hi, I'm not a famous fashion photographer shooting for a famous title like Vogue or Elle but to me its an important shoot.Do photogs still use film for fashion shoots!? Wow!
Just asking because I wondered: What equipment will you be using? Is it an outdoor shoot or indoor/studio shoot? I'd convert to "tethered digital" for indoor/studio shoots; looks much more interactive/productive. I'd like to know what keeps you with film? (*In the sole context of* fashion photography. Others, don't get me wrong.)
BTW, I highly agree with the advice: "stick to what you know"...
Regards,
Loris.
I know quite a few who use film for fashion photography.
A few even shoot it at fashion week in NYC. They shoot a few hundred rolls of e6 or c41 during that week.
Some of it using what you know but its a look that a lot of people still prefer.
I would stick with Portra for the shoot.
The colors are truer and the saturation is normal compared to ektar.

I wouldn't use Ektar for anything involving skin tones. Portra is great....I prefer Fuji 160ProS or Fuji 400H.

Two other photographers that still shoot ONLY film (C-41):
Xavier Vallhonrat (and only 4x5 inch, on top!)

and Vincent Peters, 6x7

It's a pleasure see them work (plus the Fuji- Polas as reference), reminds me of my old days...
Hi there, got an important fashion shoot coming up and I'm debating whether to use Ektar 100 or stick with Portra 160NC....how do they compare for scanning......? I know and use Portra but am wondering whether this latest film is easier to scan....the scanning is crucial for me......
Both scan well. I wouldn't worry about using one or the other.

Hey,
I am very very new to film and i really would like to have something with it in the future, i am digital guy but really film tweaking my mind a lot lately say since last year.
For my new start, i just received my second developed color neg roll yesterday after my first fail roll, i scanned 2 or 3 frame out of the roll, but i uploaded only one shot, can't be sure if it is great or not, but so far i can say that film look is different and even the color looks natural more than digital[didn't have test shots of film and digital but first look can tell], what do you think?
Out of scan with no prcoessing
