Good color film for studio shooting? |
I'm a beginning studio photography student and was wondering what color film would work best for me under the tungsten lighting I will be using. If you are shooting portraits, then Tungsten colour negative film is the best If you are shooting advertising shots, Tungsten colour transparency film is the best. Years ago, each publisher used to tell us photographers which chrome film they preferred. For many, many years Kodachrome and Kodachrome were the the only transparency material publishers would accept. Agfa, GAF, Tura, 3M and others were rejected out of hand. Fujifilm started becoming popular in the late 80's and over the past years it has become a favorite of many photographers. Source(s): Editorial, sports and glamour photographer I have always liked Fuji color print film but everybody has their own reasons why they choose the film they shoot on (Kodak, . Since you will be shooting under tungsten lighting depending on what type you have you may have to shoot with a filter on your lens to color convert your prints. The tungsten lighting will be somewhat yellow and your film is balanced for daylight (5500 kelvins). You can use either a 80 series or an 82 series cooling filter to correct this. Also when your film gets processed at the lab they will finish correcting it but you want to be somewhat in the ballpark in the first place. You need to run a test of your film under this lighting no matter which brand you choose. As for black and white film the color temperature of the lights will have no effect on your images. If you shoot on slide film you can buy Tungsten film and you will not have to use any filters. Example: (Kodak EPY 135-36 Ektachrome 64T Tungsten Professional Color Slide (Transparency) Film ISO-64) Hope this answers your question, Kevin Professional Photographer My major was in photography, you did not mention if you were doing portrait, advertising, fashion, etc.... or if you would be shooting in negative or chromes. Several years ago I switched over to Fuji, great color saturation. If there is a photography store in your town, they should have a sample book of different pics shot on all of the Fuji films & the paper they were printed on, this also applies to the Kodak line of films. It's great to hear that people are still interested in traditional photography during the digital craze. You may want to do a Ebay search for a book titled "The Photographer's Handbook" by "John Hedgecoe". It has been reprinted several times and is a great book. I work in studio almost seven years and the best colors film I use is Fuji superia! it is the only film that gives natural colors!!! belive me!!!!! ps.quality of your pictures depend of the people who developing them!!! sorry if I made some spelling mestakes my English is not good jet!!!! good luck |
