What were the Roaring Twenties?
The Roaring Twenties were the 1920s in the United States and Western Europe, a decade of economic growth, jazz and new fashions. In the United States, Prohibition banned alcohol from 1920 to 1933, which led to secret bars called speakeasies and the rise of bootlegging gangs. A 1920s gangster filter borrows the decade’s suits, fedoras and Art Deco style for a costume portrait; it does not glorify crime.

What does the 1920s gangster portrait look like?
The 1920s gangster portrait is a cinematic period photo: a sharp three-piece pinstripe suit with a pocket square and a fedora, or a beaded 1920s dress with a feathered headband and finger waves, matched to the appearance in your photo, a confident sideways glance, and a smoky Art Deco speakeasy with warm amber lamps and a jazz band in the background, in a warm sepia film look. The face, skin tone, hair color and age stay yours.
