Response to 'gentle portraits'

from Peter Hughes (leonine@redshift.com)
Try: 1. Using a soft box in front of your light. 2. Printing high-key. 3. A moderate soft-focus filter, such as a Hasselblad Softar I or a Nikon Soft 1. 4. Overexposure and underdevelopment, to keep contrast down and improve shadow detail. 5. Selectol or Ektaflo Type 2 paper developer instead of harsh Dektol. 6. A paper with a long tonal scale, such as Ilford Warmtone.
