JOURNAL NOTES: 108-113

Slow film speed: the particles of silver and dye are fine grained and small in slow film speeds. it captures more detail and creates smoother looking images, which makes them good for formal portraits.

Fast film speed: more sensitive to light and ideally suited to candid and environmental portraits. grain of texture is coarser than slower film speeds.

Black and White vs. Color


black & white:
- can focus the viewer's attention on the subject
- have a formal, serious quality to it

color:
- carry feelings and impressions

in portraits, you have to consider the mood that we want to portray and then choose black & white or color.

100 mm lenses gives the subject of the portrait the most flattering picture.
