                20 years from now – we’ll look back at portraits we did now…

                Honestly… I think I’m going to create a modern day series that mimics the style of 80′s portraits. Thanks for helping think up this idea F/Stoppers!

                These are hilarious! Though I can only imagine how ridiculous some of the things we wear today will look in 20 years. I am actually a pretty big fan of the modern day Glamour Shots- my family has been using them for all sorts of occasions for the past 8 years now. I was skeptical (having seen these 80′s-90′s glamour shot disasters all over the internet) until I read some glamour shot reviews :)
