I seem to recall, after reading Skin as well as Light Science & Magic, that using a polarizer when photographing people is not the best thing to do. I tried to find the quote in both books, but was unsuccessful.
Light from skin is mostly diffuse and unpolarized, so one would think that a polarizer should have little or no effect. But when I Googled "skin polarizer filter" (w/o quotes), there seemed to be plenty of warnings about photographing people using a polarizing filter. It seems that if a polarizer is used, then it should be a warming polarizer. I just have circular polarizers.
I am curious as to your thoughts.
Best regards,
Kevin
