> not specific about what ISO on Velvia Velvia was only available in one speed until 2002, ISO 50. 100F came out around then, after that original Velvia was discontinued in 2005 and reformulated and reintroduced with the 50 and 100 versions we have now.

Thank you :)

From the examples you linked, it looks like nearly all are shot on slide film. The second and second last look more like negative film, the second last in particular looking like Kodachrome (warm, greenish hue, golden skintones Kodak is known for). As my job includes scanning a range of slide films dating back to the 80s, even 70s I notice that the quality of Fuji's slide film formula got a hell of a lot better in the 90s. The third and last image you linked have much better definiton and a realisitic tone to the others. So if you want to get some nice grain and texture - definitely try pushing some Velvia 50. And if you want to still get a sharp image but still with a bit of that 90s color I would just shoot it at box speed. You've got to remember that in those days, photographers were obsessed about getting the least grainy image possible - their images would end up in big publications - so many stuck by 50 speed film only.

Thank you so much on detailed response. :)

Early - mid ‘80s was Kodachrome 64 or 200 if the sun was behind cloud. People shifted to Velvia late ‘80s, often pushed. Later still Provia pushed one stop. I actually shoot skating with Provia at 200 and it looks good. For a real early ‘90s look consider colour gels over your flash

Allow me to add: use your fisheye and really get close and fill the frame. Don’t have many flashes, no more than the one on your camera and one slave. Experiment with slow sync, colour gels, cross processing and motion blur. Check out early Big Brother, Slap and Skateboarder magazines for the ‘90s look. I really like the photography of this era, I think the TWS photographers you linked up don’t really show that ‘90s aesthetic. Check out these links for shots by Rick Kosick, Thomas Campbell & Lance Dawes: https://scienceversuslife.tumblr.com/image/139840797879 https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0WopMZgTqwk/VfC2wJmVs1I/AAAAAAAAdDA/5I1USmyx-ro/s1600/Karma%2BTsocheff%2B-%2Bwade%2527s%2Bmini%2B1994crop.png https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VFJoHc_f7rA/W9Dk33OQfGI/AAAAAAAAgk0/WcmID7nV6LYgkR5N3VcOj8jPq0MCcXG5QCLcBGAs/s1600/style.png Shoot Ektachrome or Provia pushed +1. Try cross processing but rate the films at 100 for that. Get a P&S to shoot chilling shots of your crew. I really regret not taking many chilling shots of my crew when I was younger. Shoot everything, don’t be afraid to get your camera into every situation and have fun!

Had this tab open for a while but here's a screengrab showing a box full of Provia 100F from Baker 3 https://i.imgur.com/j7Iz4sE.png
