When using wet plates and such with speeds like 6 iso and slower, it is still possible do make good portraits, even inside. When the model can be placed in a position where he or she can sit comfortably and movemnets can be kept at bay, speeds as long as a 1/4 of sec ain't that much of an issue. Use the fastest lens you have and see what you can do wide open with the camera on a tripod. Also think about using flash lights or a strong lamp, or try to place the model near a large window, using a reflector at the other side. And when you don't have a reflector: cardboard covered with alufoil are a good home build substitution.
