Antique Photographs
I was inspired by a few old photographs I saw hanging in a friend's house recently. The shallow
depth of field and faded, warm sepia-toned look of the photos was terrific. I thought that maybe I could reproduce the look with a photo I took. So I got a great model, Alisyn, who is the daughter of some good friends of ours. Kaetlyn, her mother, did her hair in a vintage style and I had a classic dress in our costume closet. With a bunch of tweaking and adjusting in Photoshop and Lightroom, I came up with a look that I think is very close to the feel of a real antique photo. It was lots of fun and if i can find a way to to reproduce the effect without taking hours on each photo, I think it would be neat to offer a Limited Edition special with this look.
