Women’s Vintage Fashion is so fun!
WW2 Women at their finest.
I was a little nervous for this shoot because I have never done anything like it before! But, I discovered that doing a themed shoot was actually was easier than I thought. I have actually always enjoyed history and have always been fascinated by WW2 in particular. I love hearing people tell stories about it. Maybe it’s partly because I think old people are the greatest. Whatever it is, these WW2 women models rocked this Vintage Fashion Shoot!
One thing that I have never experimented with until now is fashion photography. I have taken portraits many times, but I have never tried to edit using the frequency separation technique. This time around, I learned to do it in both Photoshop and Lightroom. For the below shots though, I used Lightroom.
For this first shot, I also used a new technique I learned involving the radial filters in Lightroom. I turned down the exposure and then brought it back using the radial filters. This allowed me to bring the light back to only the areas I thought important.
To be honest, these next two shots already looked fantastic so I don’t remember doing a whole lot in post. I think I mostly just fixed up the saturation and contrast. Having good lighting from the get go helps a ton with the editing of fashion photography portraits, or any portraits for that matter.
For the two pictures below, the wind was blowing a little too much for my liking. I used the spot removal tool to remove some stray hairs that had blown into their faces.
Thanks to my models who did a great job playing the part of WW2 Women and making this vintage fashion look awesome! You can shop for some vintage fashion items of your own here!
