Portraits on Film

I recently decided to start shooting film in addition to digital on every portrait shoot. Apart from loving the look of film, the main bonus of being a multimedium portrait photographer is that it gives both myself and the model two very different looking sets of images in a single shoot, with film giving a very distinct, vintage look. I usually take a choice of two or three different film stocks with me on portrait shoots, and where I feel that more than one stock may suit the lighting I'll often give my model a brief description of what to expect from each and allow them to make the final choice. Here are some examples of recent portraits captured on film.
