Week 6 Assignment: Vintage (Part 1)

When I heard that our next assignment was to use filters and overlays to make a picture look vintage, I already had a detailed vision of what I wanted to do for my photos. Instead of just making a photo look vintage, why not go back in time myself? 

Living in the situation I do now, I have access to a large variety of vintage clothing, vehicles, jewelry, objects, furniture, and overall style. So I decided I would put this to use and throw myself back to the 1950s.

Here is how that turned out:

Although it took a long while to edit and hours for hair and makeup, it was all worth it. I really like how these photos turned out. I actually took them when it was getting a bit dark outside which lowers the quality of the photo but I feel like it added to the old fashioned feel. Using black and white and sepia filters also lightens up the photo. All in all, I feel as though this assignment was a total success!
