Great post, Mike, I just have a couple specific questions.
1. Is that a north light window? Or another direction? I'm guessing north because the light in your photos appears to be the same temperature consistently. (An east or west exposure might be more dependent on kelvin temperature??) This is new information to me so I might be mixing up some of the basics.
What I'm getting at is your photos have a very specific, coolish/mauve color scheme that beautifully lights your subjects, gently enhancing rather than exaggerating flesh tones. The reds in your flesh tones are very subtle; the camera is not "grabbing" and over-emphasizing them.
This leads to my next question, 2. What specific film are you using? I don't know if you've followed any of Chris Saper's posts about her experience matching film type to kelvin temperatures? Or her observation that Kodak films tend to grab the reds?
I am wandering, but you've got something good going with your photography and I still don't have a grasp on it.
