In a digital age, we are constantly connected and seeking instant gratification; others however, have returned to the magic of instant film photography. With this process, there are no do-overs; an image is created straight from the camera and develops in the palm of your hand.
Today, many contemporary artists are looking again to instant film as a viable option for image making. Whether your purpose is instant gratification or to disconnect from cumbersome equipment, we want to see how you are embracing the instant image in a contemporary world.
