I don’t know about you, but I love grunge. I love all the pop culture references, the grunge aesthetic, and the retro look. It’s one of those things that I like to incorporate into my photography. The grunge style is a sub-genre of photography that takes inspiration from the 1980s music scene.
So if you love grunge, you’re probably also in love with nostalgia. I know I am. I’m a huge fan of the 80s, and I love the retro vibe a lot too. But there’s also a sense of nostalgia that comes with grunge, as well. There is a very specific style of grunge photography, which can take inspiration from the 1980s music scene.
It seems one of the most prominent ways to incorporate grunge into your photography is to use vintage clothing. Its usually done with a vintage style of clothing that can also be retro. If youre into grunge clothing, there are tons of different kinds to get on board with. The thing is that you can’t really use the style as a basis for your photography, because the vintage clothes tend to be too heavy and the grunge clothes too casual.
I couldnt find any images of grunge clothing that I wanted to include, but I thought I would list some of the ones I found online. And I also found some nice vintage clothing that I thought is perfect for photographing that was designed for a grunge fan. If you are into grunge, these would be some websites to check out.
A lot of the images on these pages were found on the Tumblr of a guy named Aaron, who has a really neat site called grungephotography.tumblr.com. I found this interesting because he’s mostly into vintage and grunge, and this was his first attempt at a site devoted exclusively to that. He’s got a lot of great vintage and grunge photography, so I’d suggest checking out his site.
Its nice to see there is an alternative to the standard “man-in-a-suit” image, but grunge has always been a pretty male dominated genre. A lot of people seem to think its a drag to try and break into female-dominated genres, but the truth is that some men are just born with the talent for it. As a guy, I think its cool to see some guys try.
It’s nice to see someone who isn’t afraid to try his hand at a genre I don’t normally think of as my own. I think I’m more comfortable with this than some other genres I’ve tried, but I agree that it’s still hard to break into.
To break into something thats not usually your genre, you have to go through the awkwardness of being asked to prove your mettle. To be honest, grunge photography has never been my genre, and I think it gets harder the more you try to be something you aren’t. Maybe its because its a genre that is so male dominated that it feels like you have to prove yourself in order to be accepted. It’s really not a drag to try, but maybe it feels awkward to you.
I think the main reason I have trouble getting into grunge photography is the fact that its so un-gendered in that it only seems like a woman would be interested in it. I think this is probably because its been a fairly popular trend for several years now, and it seems everyone is doing it. I love the fact that this is something I feel comfortable doing because I feel like it has a certain aesthetic appeal. Most of the people I know who do grunge photography are men.
I can understand why people would feel that way. I think in general, what people find attractive about grunge photography is the fact that it seems to be completely masculine. It does not, however, follow that everyone who is interested in doing this is a man. I think the reason for this is that it is incredibly easy to get your own gear and shoot something that looks very masculine. Also, its not as masculine as it seems.
