Yes, few fashion photographers shoot creative work on transparent color
positive film. Your best off scanning a print though as without a print

reference color you'll miss the intention of the photographer. The neg

so much more latitude that you'll have to base your repro work on your
view,
thus surely the interpretation will be vastly different than the

intention.
I have never heard of fashion photographers preferring print film, and I
have been a commercial photographer for over twenty-five years in
advertising, coorporate and catalog. In this same studio facility,
resident graphic designers doing catalog, including fashion, require
transparency film. Most fashion photographers shoot transparency. Under
special circumstances, they may cross-process c-neg as e-6, or shoot b&w
transparency. The prospect of proofing and printing thousands of images
from a shoot, and getting the color right, would be a daunting,
time-consuming and expensive process.
I'm not a fashion photographer myself. Unless I'm completely unaware of
a huge segment of the market, fashion photographers please share your
experience.
