Understanding Instant Film
Instant film has unique characteristics that set it apart from digital photography. The chemical development process creates organic grain, subtle color shifts, and a depth that digital sensors struggle to replicate.
From Polaroid's original integral film to Fujifilm's Instax, instant film has evolved while maintaining its core appeal. Each film stock has distinct characteristics - some warmer, some cooler, some with more contrast. Our AI can emulate various film stocks.
