55 Photos from the Seventies

18 Jul

Here are fifty-five great examples of the dying art of film photography from the 70′s. Make sure you study the subject placement in these photos and how that placement evokes emotion in the capture. Notice how most if not all these photos give you a glimpse into who the subject really was. Put yourself in the subjects place while you are out taking pictures and you can capture great moments just like these.

    man have the colors changed over the past 30 years. now a days we have so many bright vibrant colors.

      I see what you mean Jim. The richness is lost for realism. Kind of sad but change is good.
