Retro Polaroid Photography


If there's something that digital cameras of today lack, it is the charm of the old classic cameras. Black and white prints, faded colours, old memories. At times, it is nice to lose some details for nostalgia's sake.

One of my favourite programs these days is Poladroid. It converts your digital pictures into Polaroid-like prints, with a striking resemblance to Polaroid photography of the 80s. Polaroid photos are square and printed on chemically treated paper that develops instantly. There's some vignetting, difference in colours and an overall casual feeling to photos taken with a Polaroid camera.

Poladroid brings it all back! And with the same recklessness as a regular Polaroid camera.

Here are some pictures taken with a regular digital camera, processed by Poladroid.
