HOW TO

Find your vintage vibe

These apps will turn your selfies into self-portraits.

Transforming your photos into literal works of art is easy when you’ve got the right apps to help.

Here, we’ll show you how to add that vintage flair to your favourite photos and make an eye-catching photography statement.

First, let’s find the right picture. Something with a neutral background is great and you shouldn’t be wearing clothes that are too modern – classic is key.
Next, add some artsy effects depending on the look you’re hoping to achieve. Visionist helps you turn your photos into original artworks with one tap. Tweak and experiment with the app’s different styles, and edit the foreground and background for portraits to get the image exactly how you want it.

Or you could try the vintage filters in 1967: Retro Filters & Effects – along with light leaks, dust and scratching effects, you’ll really be able to send your photos back in time.
Now it’s time to frame it. The White Border app features a vast selection of coloured borders to play around with.
And to add some final flourish to your photo, look to the Gucci app.

Tap on Photo Stickers in the menu and choose some ultra-chic accessories to add to your photo.

And there you have it – a photo that transcends time and is worthy of a space on any gallery wall.
