Portrait Photography: Colour Film

De Vere Colour Enlarger


So were moving on now to use medium format and colour to create 6 prints in the colour darkroom. As we have no facilities to process the colour film we will need to use a lab which is kinda better as its one less thing you hope would be able to go wrong.

The main difference in the process is the complete darkness that is required when handling the colour paper before being exposed to by the enlarger. This makes the red lighting in the black and white dark room look like a walk in the park.

The colour balance required after exposure levels have been established will also be a challenge,but im pretty confident i understand how it should work and definately know what i want them to look like when done.

The black and whites were without flash using just natural light,so for these we will be using various different types of flash to get hopefully a more dynamic look in the final prints.
