You might already be aware that Fujifilm's Instax prints range has an array of fun designs to choose from in all sizes: Mini, Wide, and Square. These are a great way of not only expressing your personal style as a photographer but also for enhancing the overall aesthetic and vibe of your instant print images too.
Some of the best Instant cameras might be seen as nothing more than a novelty purchase or a gimmick for some, but if used correctly, they're a great way of displaying your work elegantly in a smaller format and can make for sentimental holiday keepsakes to document your travels, or even for scrapbooking. Instax sometimes collabs with other brands to create fun film designs, like Hello Kitty.
My top 3 picks
Film Type: Instax Mini
My number one choice for Instax Mini film is the Contact Sheet design, which features a black border and orange-tinted labels across the top and bottom sides of the print, giving the impression of a just-shot studio contact sheet using old film. I absolutely love the look that this gives my images, and it offers a unique retro vibe with numbered prints from 1-10 too which is handy for keeping track of your prints and great for display.
Film Type: Instax Mini
This Blue Marble Instax film design is fun and classy, with just enough flair to make your photos stand out while keeping things nice and simple at the same time. It reminds me of marble museum walls but with just a tad more vibrancy, and the gold tones blend so nicely with the ashy blue background. This film would be best for complimenting any portraits you capture but might clash with any greenery or landscape shots.
Film Type: Instax Mini
The Stone Gray Instax film is truly gorgeous if you don't like basic and bland white borders on your images, and adds a gritty undertone to your subjects. Best for still life, cars, studio portraits, monochrome shots, and even pets, the Stone Gray film can be used to add depth to an otherwise basic image and can look great when displaying your prints on a desk or shelf as well as for scrapbooking with white card.
