FILM IS IN: How to make your pics look vintage
Picture ascetics are very important, especially when posting online. Nowadays you have so many options to make your pictures look dope. BUT, let me tell you now a clean shot looks a lot better when you add some nostalgia to it.
A lot of pros are going back to film and vintage cameras, the old school look is def a trend. But, instead of paying up to $100 just for film (not even going to price out what the cameras might run you) Im going to suggest a cheaper way to emulate the look and have your pictures looking like they were scanned out of your mom's photo book.
Below are a list of Apps I suggest you getting.

Below are a list of Apps I suggest you getting.
- VSCO
- FTMimage
- FilterLoop
- Lomograph
- RNI Films
- *Photos* (stock photo album app on iPhone)
So, the best way to perfect the look is to be as subtle with the filters as possible and try your best to replicate actual vintage film pictures. SO, that means higher exposure, add grain, blue tints, black and white are always good, desaturate your colors so it fades more, work with the fade effect on the apps. If the app has date marks those always add a special touch too.
Honestly just play around with multiple apps and see which one works best for you. Have fun playing around and always put out dope pics.
