What is Retro Style
A retro photo pack is an interesting idea to capture the most important events in life. This is something for lovers of the first movie stars, jazz, charleston, vaudeville, musicals. For inspiration, before organizing a photo shoot, it is worth revising family photographic albums of the beginning of the century and silent films.
The basis of the photographs will be the study of the play of light and shadow for black and white and sepia. It is worth remembering that in these crazy times, there are many dances, candlelit dinners in restaurants, and playing cards.
We will be happy to help you organize your session, both in the studio and on the street - against the backdrop of interesting landscapes, old buildings, benches and fountains reminiscent of the beginning of the century,
clothing
Use the fashionable for that time short low-waist dresses under construction, muffs, fur capes on the shoulders, boas, gloves, boas, frock coats, top hats and bowlers. All this will help to recreate the unique atmosphere of the 20s and 30s.
Props
A cigarillo, a cigar, a cane, a la Charlie Chaplin, a string of pearls, a headband with a feather, gadgets that will help convey the atmosphere of a bygone era. Among them m.in :. Old suitcases, radio, adapter, and even wooden deck chairs and the original bottle closed with a ceramic cap, playing cards, fans, revolvers. Curved chair backs, carved tabletops.
Makeup and hairstyles
Make-up and hairstyle characteristic of the first decades of the last century - quite bright lips, eyelashes, powdered face. Hairstyles - from short "page" or "square", to raised at the back of the head and pinned up long hair, artificial wigs.
Poses for a photo shoot
It is advisable to choose dynamic play poses in the "stop the moment" style - in dance, during conversation and playing cards, a feast (raising glasses), a girl at a dressing table, at a book, on a walk by a pond, etc. But all postures should be natural and saturated with the energy of that time.

Anya Karavaeva came to visit, like that in winter ... and we had a real retro photo session, so I made some pretty retro portraits, and at the same time practiced styling photographs like retro 1920s.
Photo session in retro style.
Speaking of retro photography, this is a special kind of stylization of photographs for vintage antiquity. In our retro style photo shoot, Anya is generally an expert on fashion and style of that era. And she was not only a model, but also a stylist. Therefore, she was wearing an authentic dress, a hat, a grandmother's blouse, a retro hairstyle and so on.
How to organize a retro shooting?
The basis of any successful photo shoot is interaction with a model, which results in a good and interesting studio portrait or several. In our case, it is on a white or dark background. Of course, you need a knowledgeable makeup artist and stylist, a person versed in retro styles and fashion. Any vintage accessories are welcome. There are interior studios with antique furniture or a matching textured wall.
What lighting schemes to use for retro photo shoots?
Light scheme for the first portrait: Two rear side softboxes for highlighting smoke and hair (almost backlighting) and a sunshade in front of the right and top. To soften the shadows on the neck and under the nose, I used a large sheet of reflective plastic in front and below. It is desirable to move away from a dark background.
For the second portrait, I changed the lighting scheme. Highlighted the white background. I highlighted the hair with a softbox on the back-left. And in front and slightly to the right, he put a large umbrella for reflection. Below, a small flash softened the shadows.
How to handle retro photography?
To process the photos, I used one of the DemiArt Photoshop tutorials on aging photos, which can be found under the tag "Old photo vintage effect". On my own, I added some creativity, noise, different brushes and grudge paper textures. Naturally, such processing is unique, it takes about an hour, this must be understood when undertaking commercial retro photography.
- Converted from RAW, can be converted to BW.
- Duplicate the layer and Filter\u003e Blur\u003e Surface Blur,then we raise the contrast Curves. Tone this layer to sepia.
- Duplicate the background layer, move it to the top, make a round mask in the center, invert the selection. Add 10px large noise to the peripheral areas of the retro photo layer, with blending Overlay.
- Create a new layer, fill it with gray, add 4px fine noise, blend mode Overlay.
- Add in a new layer with brushes dots, cracks, spots, of any shape and size (in the blending mode Soft Light).
- Duplicate the background layer, move it to the top, apply a Filter-Other-Hight Pass filter with a radius of 3-5px, apply it to the eyes and sharp parts of the vintage photo.
- Add paper textures under the background layer. This can be a photograph of an old crumpled piece of paper or cardboard. Apply the texture with masks and adjust the opacity of the photo layer.
And now the retro photo is ready: 
And this is an ordinary portrait on a dark background, from that photo session in retro style, with practically no processing.
