Vintage photography is any photographic image produced by an analog camera. Oftentimes vintage photography has a certain visual texture or grain, as seen in 70's vintage beach photography. Some of the beauty of vintage photography lies in the imperfections inherent in non-digital photography.
Vintage photography includes photos taken in decades past, and also includes photography shot on modern equipment and aged through the developing process using conventions from those times. Sometimes, images originally taken to capture a personal memory like an instant snap picture of a landmark on vacation can be considered a type of folk art photography. Shops on Etsy carry vintage photography from years past, along with analog and mechanical cameras.
