There’s something about the look and feel of something vintage that always easily pulls me in. Maybe its the warmth of seeing something classic and familiar. Or the film grain or texture… those little imperfections that make the subject matter real and believable. I’ve always appreciated the technique but today it seems to be a common theme I’ve been running into. Here’s a few pieces that are brilliantly executed with pretty captivating subject matter.

And in film, by Greg Kadel Studios. New York I think…
Love the grain and soft, warm color. The images just look comfortable. Not over processed either. We’re not seeing any fake debris on the lens or a short focal length with blur every two seconds. A sun spot, or halo every now and then works just fine.
Still though. With a 1MP spy camera it would be tricky to take a bad shot of these models.
Bruce! Much thanks for the comment… yep I’m totally envious/inspired by these pieces. Although at some points I feel as though it would be a bit more captivating if the motion was a bit more slower and there weren’t as many different scenes packed into half a minute.
Did you use sepia in your images? Or just tweaked some settings in your camera? The photos look really nice, especially the one with the fox, and very vintage. Was that a real fox?
I believe the image your referring to is the work of Laura Makabresku… http://lauramakabresku.blogspot.com/ very nice stuff. Thanks for the comment.
