Bollywood Actresses Vintage Photos

Nowadays, we cannot think about clicking pictures without using the perfect filter for it. In a world of filters and photoshop, vintage photos before all of these existed holds a special place in peoples’ heart. Back then there were no ways to edit the pictures to make people look skinny or make their lips look fuller. But the pictures were beautiful as they were real and not heavily edited just to make themselves into the version the people want of them.

In fact, the Bollywood industry today has advanced very much when it comes to cinematography, picture quality, editing, and graphics. It is very difficult to separate the virtual world from reality these days and the changes are happening so fast it is getting overwhelming for us to keep track of it.

There is a thing about film photos that cannot be captured through phones and digital cameras. They have a higher dynamic range. Film photos are better at capturing the whites’ and blacks’ details and it can never be replicated with digital cameras nowadays. In fact, many subtle details get lost in digital photography which can be captured by films.

Film is also more forgiving of the minor focusing issues and exposure problems that come along with digital photography. A photo taken on or off the set of a movie or television program during production is called a film still (sometimes even a publicity still or a production still).

Here is a specially curated list of pictures of Bollywood actresses from a time before filters were even a thing:
