Inspired by 100 year-old photo

Christmas came and went so fast that I didn’t get to share this last pre-Christmas photo shoot with all of you. I received a call a couple weeks before Christmas from someone that wanted to do a photo shoot with her little boy to ‘match’ a 100 year-old photo that they had of his great-grandfather.  I was more than happy to help her out with this. I love vintage inspired photo shoots and I am more than happy to help with the props, perfect location and/or the clothing.  This mom had it all under control… she had already contacted the Guthrie and rented a costume, figured out a collar to match the outfit in the photo, gathered a stool similar to the one in the photo.

I started out with some color film figuring that I could always have it printed black and white, but I also brought along my medium format camera to take some true vintage looking photos.

Here is the Christmas Card I put together to pay homage to the 100 year-old photo of this little guy’s great-grandfather.
