Depends on the lighting - may just be very soft like this: http://www.usefilm.com/image/522752.html

Thanks... In the end, I've decided to go filterless. I'm likely to be doing some digital manipulation of the photos, so I can always adjust the contrast/curves after the fact.

Why not go for a full darkroom? :)
You can do as much contrast adjustment as you like there.

The darkroom is of course another option. If I know I need more contrast, I'll use filters to save me a darkroom step.
I'll post back when I've developed the negatives and decide which path I'll take (darkroom vs digital).

Hi Matthew. I use either a yellow or green filter for portraits. For me it is based more in which film I use. Both Tri-X and BW400CN are relatively low in contrast and need the boost.

Good to know. I have a yellow filter from colour infrared work.

Depending on the subject a light blue can really be benificial.

Another method of creating high contrast is to overdevelop your negs though this does compress tonal range.
The biggest problem with this is, you sre stuck with what you get.
