Vintage Portrait Workshop
with Lindsey Ruth and SIGMA
The timeless world of vintage portraiture in this creative workshop that blends classic style with modern photography techniques. You'll learn how to recreate the look and feel of vintage portraits using today's cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment—proving that you don't need antique gear to achieve a nostalgic aesthetic.
The workshop begins with a live lighting demonstration, where you'll discover how light quality, direction, modifiers, posing, and camera settings work together to create images inspired by classic film portraits. From soft, flattering light to dramatic cinematic setups, you'll learn techniques that establish the foundation for an authentic vintage look before you ever open your editing software. Next, we'll explore the post-processing workflow that transforms modern digital files into images with timeless character. Learn how to create film-inspired color palettes, add subtle grain and texture, adjust contrast and tones, and develop a consistent editing style that evokes the charm of classic photography while maintaining a polished, professional finish.
