15 Vintage Portraits For Your Photography Inspiration
Vintage is cool. We all love vintage and that’s probably why this style will never go out of fashion and I’m not talking only about clothing or accessories. It also applies to broader domains like graphic design or photography. Vintage is everywhere.
Back in 2011, Coca-Cola celebrated its 125th anniversary by means of a vintage campaign – the ads, the bottles’ design as well as the logo’s design all were vintage. Pepsi went vintage all the way, too, the same year with the ‘Yesterday and also Today’ campaign. Furthermore, we can find plenty of vintage themes, graphic items, or logos as part of any online design gallery. Not to mention that most photo editing programs, even the very basic ones, include a vintage tool.
We all love looking at vintage portraits from our parents and grandparents’ albums. We get a very pleasant and nostalgic feeling each time. It makes me yearn for those times when there were only black-and-white photos and life seemed much easier. But what we like the most are our grandparents’ portrait photos from their youth. Such a simple photographic composition, far from the complexity of today’s photography, but looking sophisticated at the same time. I’m sure that those photos’ beauty does not come from following specific rules as it does now. In fact, I’m almost sure that modern professional photographers follow strict rules inspired by vintage photography.
Photography is not just about creating harmonious images, but about expressing certain feelings. All photographers, being either professionals or amateurs, make efforts to express emotions besides creating a correct image, however, they don’t always succeed. Instead, vintage photos seem so profound, lively, and very expressive. I believe that this is the proof that advanced technology isn’t always enough.
