When I set aside the wedding and semi professional dream, it opened a lot of doors for me. I now own cool classic Leica system, a 4x5.
Except for a two one-off weddings, last year I only shot landscapes. Starting a portrait project this year, so when this fell into my lap I jumped at the opportunity.
Years ago (circa 2005) a photo shop owner advised me to shoot B+W portraits on film and cater to an upscale market. He said digital will saturate the market place... I laughed. Wasting five years and the many thousands in digital gear... I cried for joy when I quit.
Lately, it's been liberating not having to cater to clients, but his comments have always been a big "what if" to me...
My wife gave me the idea, and the headshots will compliment her spa/facial business and the images will adorn her walls. I would look to do a half dozen or so...
Maybe something to build upon.
I will dig thru my freezer. I know there are a couple of rolls of either Porta 400 or Fuji 400H.
I will shoot a roll of Superia 400 and test the two on my spouse.
For the last year 100% of my film has been landscapes with Fuji Acros 100 or Ilford HP5.
Once I have my at home darkroom finished, I may dabble more along these lines.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I have dabbled with these films on occasion, but the last decade has been all color has been digital.
Hopefully I will be able to show some images in the coming weeks for a critique.
