Set the right expressions
Vintage-style expressions tend to be more reserved. Keep that in mind for the facial expressions in your portraits.
Specify the pose
People posed differently back in the day, often more formally. Try to capture those classic poses in your vintage-style images.
Add textural elements
Vintage photos often look a bit grainy and softly lit. Mimic this with gentle lighting and add some grain to replicate that old film texture.

Consider vignetting
A slight vignette effect, where the corners of the image are darker, can mimic the effect of old camera lenses, so aim for it.
Set a low saturation
This image style isn't known for its vibrant or saturated colors, so establish a low color intensity for a more authentic look.
Use muted colors
Vintage photos aren't super bright. When generating your scenes, stick to softer, faded colors to keep it looking old-school.

Specify the time of the day
Early morning or late afternoon? These times usually have the best light for a vintage look. Morning light gives a fresh feel, while afternoon light is cozier.
Consider the sharpness
Back in the day, cameras didn't capture super sharp images. Slightly blurring some parts of your image can help recreate that look, so specify it.
Simplicity is key
The simpler, the better. Don’t overcrowd your picture with too much stuff, as old, vintage style images have simple compositions.

Mind the outfits
Clothes make a big difference. Specify outfits that match the time period, from 1920s flapper to 1940s tailored suits, and don't forget the little details like hats or jewelry.
Set the scene
The background and props can make a big difference. A vintage car or an old-fashioned living room can help set your scene in the right era.
Go for a close-up
Close-up shots are perfect for capturing expressions, makeup, and accessories. This can add an intimate feel to your image, similar to classic portrait photography.
