Taking Your Instax Photos

 

1. Different and Distinct Film

Playing with the various film types is a fantastic way to get creative with your photos from the beginning! Instax film comes in different sizes and colour, letting you choose how you want your photos to look. With a wide range of Instax films available, you can easily bring life to your photos. Choose from different coloured borders and fun themes to add some character to the prints. Take photos with a confetti border on your birthday, or use Instax film with a black border for a sophisticated look. Also consider the different sizes that Instax photos can be! Choosing between Instax Mini, Instax Square, and Instax Wide styles give you the opportunity to show off your memories in the way that you want.

 

2. Imagination with the Instax App

If you are using your Instax Link printer, you can use the Instax Mini Link app to add quirky designs, text, or even multiple photos to your Instax prints. Change the angle, the filter, or theme of your photo easily with the different options given on the app. With all these options, you can unleash your imagination and personalize your memories as you like!

 

3. Strike a Pose with the Selfie Function

The selfie function on your Instax Camera lets you capture the fun and spontaneity of the moment. Use the little mirror next to the lens to frame your photo just as you’d like it. Experiment with angles and expressions to create a selfie gallery that showcases your personality in every shot.

 

4. Photo in a Photo

Think about mixing different ways of taking photos! Snap a shot of your Instax print in an exciting location and create a photo within a photo effect. It's a delightful way to highlight a special moment and add a creative twist to photos with Instax prints.

 

5. Different Color Filters

Use color filters with your Instax Camera for artistic effects that add prints. You can use filters made for your camera or try holding clear tinted plastic in front of the lens. Make sure to experiment on how best to take your photos, and ensure they come out clearly. When you are successful, it will give you the opportunity to enhance your photos’ unique character.

 

6. Instax Collage

Using your Instax App, use the split print function to divide a single photo into two Instax prints. If you’d like your collage to be a little bigger, spend extra time formatting different parts of your photo so that they can fit together well. Panoramic photos lend themselves best to this function, as it will let you print more of your best photos. Put the collage in a frame or display it as is, either way, it is a creative opportunity to display your photo!

 

Displaying Your Memories

 

1. Guestbook for Weddings or Parties

Transform your Instax photos into an interactive guestbook at weddings or parties. Let your guests snap a picture and write down their best wishes alongside their photo. Compile them into an album and keep these precious memories forever!

 

2. Instax Rainbow

Arrange your Instax photos in a rainbow pattern to create a beautiful and vibrant display. Place photos with mostly one colour in order of the rainbow, and watch it brighten up any room! Think about placing the photos in a rainbow shape or in a large collage and have fun adding more colour to your space.

 

3. Photo Wall

Transform a blank wall into a captivating Instax photo gallery. Perfect for a dorm room or communal home space, fill up your space with your favourite memories. Mixing different Instax Mini photo sizes and layouts lets you showcase a unique visual story.

 

4. Instax Ornaments

Turn your Instax photos into ornaments by printing and using a photo frame ornament or create a custom photo ornament. Hang them around your space as a personalized decoration. Consider giving them away during the holidays or adding a new print to your tree each year.

 

5. DIY Greeting Card

Craft greeting cards using your Instax prints and celebrate special occasions with personalized cards that showcase your creativity. Stick cherished memories to the front of blank cardstock or slip your prints into the envelope to add thoughtfulness to your gesture.

 

6. Cake Topper

Using just a touch of strong glue and a wooden skewer, you can adorn cakes or other desserts with Instax photos for a unique touch at celebrations. Include funny, cheerful, or childhood photos to make a special day even more special!

 

7. Place Settings

Add a creative touch to your table settings by using Instax prints as placeholders, and let your guests find their spots with photos of themselves or meaningful memories. Guests will love the personal and thoughtful gesture.

 

8. Gift Tags

Replace boring old paper tags when giving gifts! Attach Instax prints to flowers or your next present as a delightful gift tag. Use your favourite photos to identify gifts while adding a thoughtful touch. Further, Instax prints have a border that lets you easily write names, dates, or short messages. It's a beautiful way to present your gift and bring a smile to someone's face.

 

9. Scrapbooks and Photo Albums

Instax prints always look nice when put together in a scrapbook or photo album. Collect prints from vacations, celebrations, or achievements and organize them together to document and relive life's moments, share memories with loved ones, and preserve a tangible record of personal and family history. Sometimes simple is best and however you choose to save your memories is up to you!
