1910 to 1970

Master the Skills You Need to Create Vintage Lighting Looks

As the popularity of photography grew, so did the technology that backed it up. In particular, lighting styles changed to reflect both

advancing technology and changing mores. As fashion and society evolved, so did portraiture. In this book, Christopher Grey shows you how to cap-ture the signature lighting styles of bygone eras—but with today’s cam-eras, light sources, and postproduction tools. Learning to produce these often-studied (but rarely attempted) styles will open up a world of creative possibilities and take your portrait work to the next level!
