How to achieve this effect?

hello everybody, I'm super new to film, I JUST bought a refurbished Pentax k1000 and I'm so excited to start experimenting more with it. I am IN LOVE with the quality of this photo, especially the colors, and I would love to know if there's a way to achieve a similar effect with my photos? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help! (Photo by @babynative on instagram)

At the very top of this page is a "Learn" tab...good place to start.

It looks like a straight shot to me.

The lighting on the frame and the model is from the same direction. A small aperture has been used for depth of field to keep the frame and model.in focus.

Not much more I can say about it.

I'd suggest going out with your camera and taking pictures :) Don't worry about what other people do, you'll find your own style.

If that was shot on modern film, it was probably Kodak Portra 160. Low contrast and low saturation. But it also makes me think of the look of early Kodacolor II.

I would love to know if there's a way to achieve a similar effect with my photos?

Not to be Mean -- site rules - you can't post others' photos. You can post a link.

1) What makes you think it was shot on film at all?

 

And 2) What Sandy said about not posting images you don't hold the copyright of.

 

If it was shot on film, it's either been overall fogged or manipulated in an image editor. Either way, a digital camera could have made exactly the same image. In fact a small sensor digital camera would make the deep depth-of-field easier to obtain.

 

Why do people automatically assume that any image with a strange colour effect applied has been shot on film? Is it because the colour on film is so easy to screw up?
