Vintage Knock-Out Greg

Knock-Out Hreag, the great Swedish bluesman, here in a little retro style photo. I am very fond of the old style portraits, especially Hollywood legends like Bull, Hurrell etc. So at one time I invented a german photographer, Joseph P Lutz, who started a studio in Glendale, California, after fleeing from Germany before the world war II. And after doing the full story I started to make his photographs and also made him a website , www.lutzimages.com ).

Nice texture and crisp too. This probably look good in color too.

Your tones and textures here are perfect. I rarely see Hollywood style headshots that look like they could have been shot in the 1940s. Nice work.

Like this vintage portrait

Great work! And great site!

This is an excellent shot. This is a style from the early 1950 -1960. A classic shot in B&W. I grew up shooting b&w film. Thank you sharing this excellent image.

Thank you.
