Thread: Looking for Vintage Photos

Tweet

Hey guys-
I'm working on a prop where I need a vintage photo- preferably a larger size one (4x6 or 8x10 would be great). I'm having a heck of a time finding one- any ideas?

I'd like an original photo, not a painting or mass produced...

MAYBE I could re-create one in Photoshop? Any ideas on that?
Thanks

I have a vintage photos cd - what sort of subject, so I can look through to see what I've got?

I need portraits. Preferably one of a man, shoulders up. Got anything like that? Is it high resolution?

Yup, they're high res... give me a few to look through and upload.

Okay, I'm a bit of a liar apparently... they aren't high res. Sorry!

I'm not sure if these will help you much, since they'll be under 2 x 4 inches if you want them 300dpi...

Here's what I had anyway.





There is a stock art site that has high resolution images for cheap (like under a few bucks) High Resolution Stock Photography: Download Free Stock Photos and Royalty Free Images and I checked and they do have a good selection of vintage portraits...hope that helps!

I have taken pics with the family at the beach and amusement parks at "OLD TIME PHOTOS"
This may work for you as well.

The lady photograph helped me out, thank you.

Glad I could help!

I'm just sorry I misremembered the CD as being high res...

It has lots of odd vintage photos. Clowns, kids, guys playing cards and musical instruments, circus stuff... all vintage stuff. They probably wouldn't look too bad blown up 150% or so, but they'll start going blurry after that.

Yeah, bummer. I need high res for sure. But that other site might do the trick!
thanks!
