1990s & 2000s vintage

By using flash light in a dark environment, multiple setting and adjustments were made in difference setting and lighting. The goal is to recreate the vintage vibe and the vibrance of the late 1990s early 2000s photos, which was the decade that I was born in. It was the time when internet has not yet emerged in Vietnam, when street photographer was still a popular occupation ,and families that wanted to have their photo taken, must always ask for help of the photographers. This is completely contrary to the current days which we only need to hold up our Iphone and snap whatever, whenever we want. The colors are modified to project a nostalgic and unmodern. A lot of grain and shadow was added to achieve the above goal. No fixed filter applied, The project was executed with DSLR camera in raw mode, and the editing part utilized Default tools and Lightroom on Iphone, and Photoshop.
