I understand your point FTV. It's just an aesthetic thing.
I've seen your stuff and it is very beautiful, and if you are trying to achieve the film "look" then you are right, you must go with film.
In most situations when shooting skin (models) you try to make them more beautiful than they are in reality by using artistry, and portra is a portrait film, I've used it myself when shooting weddings. If covers skin flaws, smooths textures, reduces contrast on purpose. And it makes people beautiful.
But gonzo style porn is a different subject matter, to me digital just conveys a more "real" look which is important for the scenes I shoot. I don't do studio type stuff, I shoot everything on "location" journalism style, bang bang bang, in and out. FAST.
Another problem for me is that in the web business you must get the content online with a minimum of down time.
I'll shoot, edit, correct, compress and upload 1000 images to my server that the world can see within 24 hours while other guys are scanning film.
And I've scanned plenty of film, and for me it was always dirty, and it always needed spotting digitally, (or dust specks removed electronically which induces fuzziness).
I even ran my own color lab and processed my own c-41 and e-6 to get the originals out fast for scanning.
There just is no comparison in workload. Digital made me a believer.
