There is just something magical about the look of old photos. It’s in the lighting, the film stock used and the way a printed photo just ages into something that screams nostalgia. Part of my personal photography goals this year is to bring some of that filmy-goodness to my own work, and of course that means experimenting in my Middelburg studio with portfolio photoshoots.

For this session with the lovely Michelle it was all about playing with lighting to create a super soft skylight lit look. While the setup doesn’t look like the most glamorous behind the scenes, it definitely worked to create the desired end result.
