I Became Obsessed With Polaroid

[@loganfritzsche8439]

I am super obsessed with Polaroids. I don't really have the money to just buy a bunch of them, however, they are just so cool being able to take a photo and have it in your hand is something that just cannot be replicated. I have a polaroid from the 80s and it might my the coolest thing I have. I also just bought the Lego set.

[@salem_vlogs]

I also really love the aspect of you have it in your hands right after you take the photo. Honestly, the tangibility is unmatched. Lol I also got that set, happy building dood. 👋

[@babytiny5807]

I've heard people say they've found some really cheap stuff in thrift/charity shops, have you come across anything like that?

[@peredefoix]

i follow some polaroid channels and you get the besr pictures with a onestep+ i have ever seen. specially those night shoots. Congratulations!!

[@salem_vlogs]

Thanks, night photography is my favorite genre when it comes to taking pictures. I was happy to try it using a new medium of photography. It was really fun. 😁😁😁

[@stapledtogether]

great video. I had the same overwhelming obsession with polaroid when i first started shooting it when the pandemic hit and labs closed. Id never considered polaroid before the pandemic and ive been obsessed ever since. I really dig that you're appreciating it exactly how it is supposed to, it can be used professionally but also just to capture special moments in life and hold a tangible piece of that memory. I havent shot polaroid for about a year because I got so hung up on using it for professional shoots but this summers (australian summer) ill be setting more of a goal to get back to the basics and just capture moments and fill albums with polaroids

[@salem_vlogs]

Me neither until a friend of mine picked one up and I was really intrigued. Once I got my first one I just went crazy. Like I have a box full of them and currently working on a large corkboard of polaroid. And heck yeah man go for it.

[@MichaelSmith-ms7oy]

Awesome video I recently got a Polaroid impulse and it takes pretty good pictures

[@perezfernandezrodrigo6714]

I just got obsessed with Polaroids too and I feel the same you feel. Feels different to take photos with it and it’s a better feeling than the phone camera or digital camera (also, girls love it haha). Nice vid!

[@salem_vlogs]

Heck Yeah. Thanks and happy shootin' :)

[@zimbabwe0]

also get into regular film photography, it's tons of fun as well

[@Nanou197373]

lovely shots! Welcome to the Polaroid fanclub haha

[@salem_vlogs]

Thank You. I dont know how much money I have spent on film anymore. LOL

[@techsture]

Great video! I just got a strong desire for a Polaroid camera in the last couple days. I've never owned one, but I remember loving the pictures when I was growing up. I still think it's my favorite way to view photos.

[@salem_vlogs]

Go for it! It pretty fun to just take pictures.

[@JosephJMcAllister]

That's awesome man! I've always thought about it. Guess they started making the film again. I have the old first polaroid camera as well.

[@salem_vlogs]

Go for it!

[@willl8402]

Awesome video bro!! Very chill & calming vibe

[@salem_vlogs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@valamelie2454]

What do you think about the Polaroid One Step Close Up? I’m thinking of getting one but I can’t see a lot of review videos about it 😅

[@janfrohlich2233]

Your photos Look awesome!

[@salem_vlogs]

Glad you like them!

[@vegeta1496]

Polaroid is my therapy

[@salem_vlogs]

Lol, same. I just like shooting with it. It's fun. I had used it the last time my friends and I hung out. One of my friends never even seen this camera. He was so surprised, and it felt amazing to just tell him about it.

[@j-a-y._.]

Have you tried using a poleroid onestep close up? I own one and it’s decent, but it obviously gives a chill 80’s vibe when you look at the photo

[@salem_vlogs]

I actually picked one up recently from a goodwill. Me and my friend were looking for a polaroid. And we luckily found 2 of the same one. It's just that the one I got the flash doesn't work so ima send it to get repaired. I do love its aesthetics. It's definitely the lens that it comes with. It give it that 80s vibe that been popular in recent years.

[@NormanF62]

Polaroid went out of the instant film business when digicams appeared, which could do more. As a point and shoot camera, there was nothing else quite like it back in the day. 😊

[@salem_vlogs]

That's for sure. I'm still glad that they provide film for some of the more vintage cameras.

[@Steelclon_]

Love to the Dunder Mifflin TShirt ❤

[@salem_vlogs]

Yeee me too 😆

[@aaronblair9583]

The formats before this integral film. Like you 95 b. Came out of the camera wet. That's where the shaking thing came from, you were drying the peel apart print

[@salem_vlogs]

Ahh interesting. I do want to try to shoot with the model 95b but I'm a little hesitant as the film is all expired. Idk I'll see one day.

[@LittleVicVe]

Great great video, and photos... ! regards from Perú!

[@salem_vlogs]

Thank you very much!

[@JonathonNegrete]

good video. When you talk to the camera 1 on 1 you should do it outside where the environment looks nice.

[@salem_vlogs]

Noted! Ill definitely keep that in mind for some of the future videos.

[@ritacibrian1540]

Thank you for this video!! I'm looking for my christmas present and I can't decide between Polaroid or Instax Wide 300... do you have comments about it??

[@salem_vlogs]

I have never used an instax wide before but the wide format looks really nice, that would be the reason I would get one (but tha'ts my opinion). Its up to you, I know that instax' film is cheaper in the long run.

[@TheEigylyte]

Love them since l was 7 and first time saw polaroid pic it was in 90s, started take pics with fuji in 2015 buylt real polaroid l got just 2y ago , l have 70s box polaroid and 636 , 636 is my favorite , l gonna give 90's 600 like a present to my cousin kid 😊, my bigest problem my hands to short to get selfies 😂 love how its looks not digital ❤

[@salem_vlogs]

Thank You, these pictures definitely have their own style that you cant really compare to other cameras. Also Definitely gift one to your cousin, I'm pretty sure he will have fun with it.

[@Horrornextdoorgaming]

Gread Vid Boss!

[@salem_vlogs]

Thank you. This one is performing well and I'm Pretty happy about it.

[@aaronblair9583]

Just understand that the Polaroid you buy now is not the same as the original Polaroid company that went bankrupt in 2008. A guy bout the equipment and built the chemistry back from scratch. That company was called the impossible project. In 2017, a rich dude asked his dad to buy the impossible project and were able to purchase back the Polaroid name. It's a totally different company. The impossible project wanted to replicate the original film and make the best quality photos. The new owners are obsessed with the "vintage" look, and aren't developing better film at all really...
