Retro-Styled Colortography

The Julia Galdo 'Color Steps' Series Stars Statuesque Models

I love the Julia Galdo ‘Color Steps’ setting. Simple, retro, obviously colorful, it creates postcard-like images while not taking away from the statuesque models or the clothes they are showcasing.

Shot for San Francisco magazine, the Julia Galdo ‘Color Steps’ portfolio is definitely a series that I would blow up and frame in my own home. My personal favorites include the lead image as well as the legs-in-the-air image. Check the gallery above and tell me yours.
