I know I had a site I looked at that was cool- ugh, I can't find it. I promise I'll look again first thing tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI love my Hipstamatic app on my iPhone - so that's one way to go but I don't think you have one, right Rachel?
ReplyDeleteUrban Outfitters has some badass options: http://bit.ly/cDZmgw. I hope this helps!
Well, I couldn't find the one I looked at before, but there are a lot of tutorials out there (says Google) I just searched "Vintage Photoshop Tutorials"
ReplyDeleteThis one looked interesting, at least as a starting point- http://free-web-design.co.cc/breathtaking-dreamy-vintage-photoshop-tutorial.html
I do think the one bad thing about these is that you won't get a true color on the product shot. Is there some creative way of keeping your product the right color and the backdrop be tinted*? OR I guess you could show a true color shot in your photos.
*Here's a bit of brainstorming - what if the photo is like a shot of a keepsake box. A vintage colored photo with the actual item placed on top. Almost like the photo is a shot in time, and the beads are a momento. You wouldn't have to show the whole piece, just enough to show color? Am I getting too artsy fartsy over here?

ReplyDelete"DeviantArt has several, but the quick and dirty is to use a lighten layer with a dark, cool color and a multiply or transparent layer with a creme or other off white"
Thanks for the input on this! I'll let you know when I get started photographing (I've got WAY too many different projects on my plate right now). :)
