All kinds of fashionable styles are changing all the time, and the only thing that remains unchanged is retro.

Retro represents classics and nostalgia, and it can also express remembrance and pursue a slow tempo. Retro-style photos also have this feeling, so how to make photos more retro?

1. Retro nostalgic elements at a time when the pace of life is gradually becoming faster, many old objects in memory are gradually disappearing, such as roadside newsstands, small shops in old streets, downtown markets, or old clocks at home, and so on. These tasteful elements are very suitable for the performance of the slow pace of life, but also very suitable for the retro style.

If you want to show this sense of nostalgia, you can try to include these old objects and places in the photos, which are not only interesting, but also memorable.

two。 Some colors are very suitable for the retro feeling, such as yellow and brown, as well as cyan and red in the film color.

When we shoot, we can pay attention to the performance of these colors, such as using the cyan of the afternoon sky, or using roadside signs, etc., to highlight representative colors.

In the later stage of color adjustment, you can also adjust the color of the photo to the retro taste, here to introduce a very useful color adjustment tool-curve.

In the Lightroom and other later tools, there are red, green, and blue three color curves, in which the red curve upward adjustment, the photo will be reddish, downward adjustment will be bluish blue; green curve upward adjustment will be green, downward adjustment will be purplish red; blue curve upward adjustment will be blue, downward adjustment will be yellow, very suitable for simulated film retro style.

3. The photos with dark light and shadow are more suitable for the retro nostalgic style, and the photos with low contrast and air feeling also have the feeling of retro nostalgia.

These features can be realized by later operation. In the curve tool, the left side controls the dark tone, the middle part controls the middle tone, and the right side controls the bright part. After adding endpoints in the corresponding position on the curve, pull up to make this part brighter. Pull down to darken it.

The "S" curve can enhance the contrast of the photo, while the inverse "S" curve can reduce the saturation.

Pulling the leftmost end of the curve upward will make the dark part of the photo brighter, at the same time have a gray feeling, and the air feeling of the photo will be simulated.

4. The texture of grainy photos can also affect the style, rough texture with particles, can make the photo have a "old" feeling, this feature can also be achieved through the later stage:

In the Lightroom tool, find the effect-particles, pull the particle number to add particles to the photo, and you can also control the size and roughness of the particles to make the texture of the particles more obvious.

After completing the above steps, the photo has a bit of a retro flavor.
