A few thoughts:

  • Things you can do the same
    • Use black and white film
    • Use black and white processing (yes, there is a difference)
    • Use intermediate aperture values (nothing wider than f5.6)
      • f8 was typical for non-professional cameras
    • Use off camera flash where possible
    • Pro, press and consumer cameras in the black and white days typically mounted flash guns to one side or the other, not over the center of the camera like we see today.
  • Things you might be able to do the same
    • Subject matter
    • Framing
    • Poses?
    • Filtering (ND Grad, ND Spot, Soft Focus, etc)
  • Things you can't do the same
    • Many old black and white photos were shot with large format and/or medium format film.
      • Bigger format means bigger field of view
      • Bigger field of view enables longer focal length lenses
      • This is the thing many people can't put their finger on when looking at old photos.
      • The bigger format does alter the perspective of the image
