Creating Vintage Glamour Images

Creating vintage glamour images is fun as well as work of art as it requires a good understanding of photography as an art, posing techniques, lighting, as well as the knowledge of the good old golden days on the part of the photographer. Shooting vintage glamour image is fun because it makes the subject look as if it was a star of the past golden age or a pin-up model while being dramatic with a lot of contrast. As glamour photographer, you can create vintage glamour images with special lighting, vintage wardrobes, make up, and pose.

Lighting is of utmost importance here as creating an image is all about manipulating light. Glamour Pictures that reproduce the very glorious vintage style should be taken in a studio, for the objective can only be completed with complex lighting from various angles. Shadow beneath the nose is the characteristic of glamour images from the golden age, so you would require a strong, undiffused key light shinning at a high angle, which makes the model appear to be in the spotlight. Then, you are going to need a couple of filling lights to take care of unnecessary shadows and light the model up. The other light needed is the backlight to separate the model from the background.

Obviously, colors mean a lot for Beauty Photography, so monochrome should be perfect for creating the old-school impression and well the eyes of retro-fans with tears of delight. In addition, you should concentrate on contrast and edginess; in order to show the facial features in their whole splendor and to preserve the details, fill lights shouldnt be stronger than a third from the key light intensity.

Posing is critical for producing vintage beauty pictures, for back then the models wouldnt normally look straight into the lens; to make it look old-school, the main subject should glance somewhat sideways, preferably with an enigmatic facial expression. In vintage glamour images it is the dramatic touch that counts, not the appearances. Reduce the amount of glamour in the entourage; I mean it in vintage glamour photography the model is central persona and the carrier of all that glamorous atmosphere, not her wardrobe or surroundings. If you are shooting black and white to create a classic look, you can choose the attire that is plainly black and white so that it is easier to create contrast. Do not use too many colors as the lighting will take the colors away, and try to get the make up matte, not gloss so as to absorb the hard light.
