Bringing it Back Old School: A Look at TTV Photography

Duaflex II – Vintage Camera 620 by Rachel Creative

TtV: What a discovery!!!

Ever wondered how those cool vintage looking pictures you like were taken? 
Well it is not always about Photoshop!!



It's called TtV Photography.
(Though the Viewfinder)

"Through the Viewfinder photography (TtV) is a photographic technique in which a photograph is shot with one camera through the viewfinder of a second camera. The viewfinder thus acts as a kind of lens filter.[1] The most popular method involves using a digital camera as the image taking camera and an intact twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) or pseudo-TLR as the "viewfinder" camera.[2] TLRs typically have square waist-level viewfinders, with the viewfinder plane at 90 degrees to the image plane. The image in a TLR viewfinder is laterally reversed, i.e. it is a mirror image. Most photographers use a cardboard tube or similar 'contraption' to connect the two cameras. This serves to eliminate stray light and prevent reflections appearing on the viewfinder glass or on the lens of the imaging camera.


Depending on the model of TLR, the resulting image may have an old-fashioned feel to it, often with vignetting, blurred edges, distortion and dust.
TLR models popular among TtV photographers have a brilliant type ('bubble glass') viewfinder. They include the Ansco AnscoflexArgus 75Kodak Duaflex and Kodak Brownie.
The following equipment is required.
1 A "bottom camera" through the viewfinder of which the photograph will be taken. Typically this is a medium formal TLR or pseudo TLR.
2 A "top camera" which will be used to take the photograph. Typically this is a digital SLR or digital compact camera with a macro lens or macro function.
3 A "contraption" to link the two cameras and block out any excess light.
The contraption may be a simple cardboard tube, or an open ended box that fits around the bottom camera."
