Give a digital photo a vintage retro film look

№ 94

№ The prompt

Restyle this photo with a vintage analogue film look. Add subtle grain, gently fade the contrast, and shift the colours toward a warm period cast as if shot on old film stock. Keep the subject, composition, and detail intact — the face must not be reshaped or smoothed. Apply the film character tastefully; it should look like a real film photograph, not an over-aged filter.

    Subject, composition, and detail; the film character (grain and cast) is added on top.

    Over-fading into mush, distorting faces, or laying on heavy fake light leaks.
