Request please share resources for photographing dark skinned people. There is still a greater challenge, that of photographing a group of people with yellow, brown, white, black skin or every other races of mankind. Regards. Bipin - from that far away enchanting land.
Take an incident light reading (light falling on the subject) and expose accordingly.
If you're exposing for the amount of light that's illuminating the subject, their skin tone will automatically fall into the correct value. If you have them hold an 18% gray card in at least one of the shots, you've got what you need to neutralize the white balance.
