Friday Favorites is a weekly feature on the Imagekind blog where I share some of my favorite things found on – or related to – Imagekind over the past week. Sometimes there may be many, others, perhaps a few. It might be a single print, an artist, a group of artists, an article, different art styles; who knows! In any case, check out some of the cool happenings around Imagekind every Friday on the blog.

I love the style of vintage-looking photography. So naturally I was thrilled when I saw this post on Twitter the other day: 13 beautiful examples of vintage 1970s photography.

I thought I’d share some of the photographs I’ve found on Imagekind that have a similar style. It’s becoming a common technique in photography to manipulate photos to have this same kind of vintage and retro feel to them. Some artists use antique cameras to achieve this look, while others utilize digital techniques to pictures they have already taken. Check out this tutorial if you are interested in how to give your photographs that weathered, vignette effect.

The desaturated colors and grainy textures are what really make these photographs appealing. Whether framed or on canvas, they really help set a room apart; great for conversation starters!
