Best Print Film for South Asian / Indian Wedding??

Greetings all.

 

I am looking for the most suitable PRINT film for a South Asian /

Indian Wedding I am doing in a few weeks. I'll be shooting one or two

pre-wedding ceremonies as well.

 

Normally, I use NPH rated at 320 for events & parties, but it may not

be adequate for this event with all of the vibrant colors of the

women's Saris and other dresses, flowers, makeup, gold, etc. (If you

are familiar with these parties, you know what I mean).

 

Instead of the NPH, I am thinking about Superia 400, and perhaps even

Kodak Supra 400. I'd be willing to sacrifice a bit of skin-tone for

overall vibrancy.

 

Can anyone with a similar/like experience shed some light on this?

(sorry 'bout the pun).

 

FYI - primarily using a Nikon F100 with SB-80DX flash mounted on

Stroboframe.

 

Thanks in advance!

Portra UC is an <i>excellent</i> choice. It's very fine grained with

vibrant, yet accurate colors. It's not as forgiving with flawed skin

as NPH is, though. Meaning, it won't hide skin flaws, but it

doesn't accentuate them, either. Try it out before the big day, and

rate it at 320 just like you do the NPH.
