The Charm of An Instant Photo

When it comes to taking photographs, an instant camera isn't the first thing that comes to mind. If I want something convenient, I would probably go for a Lomo LC-A+. If I need more control, an SLR would be my choice. An instant camera is probably more suitable for goofy snapshots with friends.

Well, sure. Instant cameras are fun for casual shoots. But is that all there is to it? It's time we stop taking instants for granted! Instant photography has come a long way, after all.

Instant Photography Is for Capturing Fleeting Moments

You're on the go and you see something special. An instant camera makes it easy to seize a fleeting moment, and immediately replay the memory right in the palm of your hand.

Instant Photography Is a Compromise

We love the romanticism of the slow and sweet charm of analogue photography, but sometimes we need to catch up in a fast-paced world. Memories drift by fast – one blink and you'll miss it. If you love the tactile feeling of having to hold a photograph without having to wait too long, instant photography satiates both needs.

Instant Photography Gives Us One Chance

One-shot, one photo to cherish. It's yours and yours alone. It can either be a small but special memento to keep for yourself or a one-of-a-kind remembrance to share with someone you adore.
