For this project I chose to use a camera from my camera collection. I chose to use the Kodak Duaflex IV Camera. I was lucky enough to inherit all of my grandparents old cameras right before my grandfather passed away. They were in the process of moving and I came across all these cameras that they were trying to sell at a yard sale. I asked my grandpa if I could have them if they didn’t sell. At the end of the day I got a box full of vintage cameras that mean so much to me. I love thinking about all the images that this camera took in its former life and wanted to capture the different perspectives of this camera.
I wanted to edit these pictures with a vintage feel. I edited them with photoshop by adjusting the levels of the pictures and sharpening the focal points of the images. I then added a faded action to make them look slightly vintage. Some of the pictures I added a “red plaster” texture to the image and then changed the overlays to enhance different parts of the pictures I added them too. I used overlays like multiply, overlay, and hue. I used the same texture for different images I added it to.
These are my favorite images from the collage.
I had a lot of fun taking these pictures and remembering my grandpa. I love vintage things and especially my camera collection since they are a family heirloom.

I really liked your photo’s of the your camera. The edits you made with the texture really achieved your goal of making them look vintage. It was pretty neat that each photo was completely different even though it was all one small camera. You did really well!

Jalene, all of your photos look really cool. I love the red texture that you applied to them. They all look really vintage, which makes a lot of sense when shooting a vintage camera. How cool that you got to keep all your grandpa’s old cameras! What a way to connect to him.
