I am always surprised how easy it is to spot "70ties". This picture just screams it. And you see a lot of photographs of musicians that look that way. Is that some particular film product being very popular or what's going on?

How would I start faking this look? Screw crisp.


My imagine composition sucks. I need a heavier lens.

What I am seeing in this picture is the white balance / Color Temperature is pushed toward the yellows.

Yeah, looks like the color balance was pushed to yellow and green.

Slight desaturation and some yellow/green split toning would be my guess.

I just did some color correction using different points on the supposedly white t-shirt as reference. For sure there was a shortage of blue.

However, correcting that it still looks 70ties.

I think there's something about a haze-like thing or maybe graininess.
