Curious; Does anyone use the zone system for their portraiture? I assume it's only with natural and/or hot lights? Do you dare attempt with strobes?????
I'd love to see some examples with commentary.
thanx in advance, jos. R.

I use usually more or less because I have ZS so deeply in my backbone.
With flash, with hot lights, with natural light... Anything goes.
However I don't use it as intentionally as in other photography. I just check where shadows will fall if I put highlight to for eg. VII or vice versa. And check the overall tonality.
Usually portrait don't need any kind of special development, I just measure with N settings and set up lights to match up.
Like jbenedict said, it's not magic. It works with portraits just like with anything else.
