There’s something about 90s photos that feels more real. No filters no perfect poses Just moments that hit different now

Candid shots are the best
The ‘90s (and before) WERE more real.
Paparazzi sucked then, and they suck now.
I DISTINCTLY remember when magazines and catalogs started to (in most cases, misuse and abuse) use photoshop.
At first it was really awkward and incredibly noticeable if you had an graphics background. And then, all of a sudden it was everywhere. And then, after that, crap phone filters.
Nothing looks as good as real life, and if you disagree, it’s because you’ve never experienced real life. Magazine/tik tok/ fashion zombies are the worst.
edit: spelling
Tom Waits shirt from his Big Time era. Nice.
I mean let’s not exaggerate. In the 90s, they had just as many filters:
* Photoshop
* Makeup
* Lighting
* Camera angles
* Plastic surgery
* Photoshoots booked by the talent
But yes, some Papparazzi wanted to expose reality because the gap between beautiful perception and reality always makes news.
Winona Ryder in a leather jacket and a Tom Waits tee is a masterclass in effortless cool that modern curation just cannot replicate
No digital cameras.
It’s the flash. The flash add the cadid feel. And no matter how much people try to fake it, the people in fake flash photos never have an authentic look.
She was endlessly photogenic
Is she clutching something stolen?
Jessica Jones
Cause film.
Paparazzi would never these days
It helps that Winona is in some of the photos from the nineties
I turned 20 in 1999. The 90s were an incredible time to be a teenager.
Disagree. The quality of cameras back then really makes it obvious it’s not real.
Uh. Ok.
Neat observation. 🙄
You can still find paparazzi photos now…
They used film.
A whole generation that will never have that one picture you kept because you’re eyes were glowing like a little demon without a filter
it’s film babe
Because no social media duh
It’s called a Xenon flash and, this is the one thing I will continue to say “kids these days will never understand”
Less plastic surgery. Or less obvious plastic surgery.
