Six essential elements to great vintage looking street photography! With @fredrik.axling / “I’ve always enjoyed watching movies and TV series - perhaps that is where my passion for street photography began. When I first picked up a camera, I photographed just about everything. But, the moment I started capturing people, my images started to feel more interesting. From there, things moved quickly. Before I knew it, I had become a street photographer. Even from the start, I loved the vintage and retro style. I appreciate images where it is hard to tell when the photo was taken. Along the way, I have noticed certain elements that often give my images this timeless quality. These details—both in the way I shoot and edit—have become essential to how I approach vintage looking street photography today: 1) For me, the cinematic feel starts with the candid nature of the moment. I try to enhance that feeling through editing, but I never stage or direct street shots - doing so would take away the authenticity that makes them powerful. 2) I look for people with a distinctive or interesting appearance, which can naturally add a cinematic touch. In more portrait-like shots, the person’s character is key, followed closely by good lighting. 3) Expression is another essential element. A subtle look or gesture can often say more than the setting itself. 4) When capturing a wider scene, including a person is not always necessary, though it can help - a strong composition, good light, and an engaging setting matter most. 5) I also enjoy using lenses with a shallow depth of field to create depth and atmosphere. I appreciate shots where people are out of focus or slightly blurred from slower shutter speeds - it adds a sense of movement and mystery. 6) Ultimately, the best shots often have an element of mystery and something left unsaid that invites the viewer to look closer. That is one reason I love using reflections - they are perfect for creating that sense of intrigue.” @nomadict: What other elements would you recommend for creating strong vintage street photography? 📸
