Dope idea! Thanks for checking out the video 📸

[@AnthonyRea]

I been doing this for years ever since I had my first Polaroid camera! I exhibited 30 images that way for a small print show once. Glad people are reviving the instant photo frame idea.

I'm just getting into these cameras! Excited to use this trick and I hope that it works with the square size cartridge too!

[@WillLangston]

It will absolutely work with the Instax Wide 🤘 Thanks for checking the video out and enjoy

[@xcaroo5730]

If you dont remove the little plastic you can hang the frame on your wall and the photo won't fall out, I have 2 hanging on my photowall right now and its perfect

[@pdtech4524]

Great idea 💡 👍 Saves the old container ending up in landfill.

[@WillLangston]

♻️

[@sunniiai]

You could just store photos in it too and stack them up in a box if you don’t have a photo album! Better than just putting them in a box because they might get bent

[@WillLangston]

Great thinking!

[@lalalandlaura]

Oooo, I can paint it too. Great idea

[@YoTiiger]

Im so lucky i saw this before finishing my first box! It was really helpfull, thanks!!

[@WillLangston]

Hey, thanks for watching. You can easily slide them out by turning it upside down and using your finger to pull it out ✌️

[@Galexynn]

Mine seems to get stuck when trying to slide them out it feels like it’s locked? I’m not sure why that is :(

[@annapilotti6658]

what do u do when taking a picture on a sunny day outside? my pictures come out white sometimes when i do it

[@WillLangston]

Hey! 👋 Okay, so what your describing is called an ‘overexposed’ photo. There could be a few reasons for this: 1.) The wrong setting was chosen: If you have an older Instax model, like the Mini 9, you may have chosen the wrong setting and need to set it to the correct one. 2.) The film was already exposed to light: You May have opened the back door for a second and let light leak inside and overexpose the image. 3.) Your subject is too bright: Because Instax film is ISO800 by default, you may be shooting in too bright a situation. If this is this case then you must wait until earlier or later in the day when it is a little darker out. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching! 📸🙏

Great thing is, you’ll always have a new one once you finish a box of film 😊 thanks for watching

[@meepraveenavlogs]

Can we use instant camera without the film box ???

[@WillLangston]

Each pack of film comes in a film box and it will be necessary to shoot the camera with this box of film inserted into the camera! 📸

[@totallyfrozen]

After paying the exorbitant price for 10 shots of Instax film, I don’t have enough left over to buy a picture frame. So I have no choice but it use this idea.

[@WillLangston]

Happy to help you save some 💸

[@maniseehra4097]

I heard that these Camras suck? Some people say they aren't working

[@WillLangston]

They consistently work for me but you can certainly find higher quality cameras. It’s just fun to shoot with it and have an instant physical copy to share

[@w_itachi_w]

Why do my photos come out all white?

[@nishithabolla1987]

Does instant camera work without film box and when I searched in Amazon the film boxes are to expensive,by the way can we select the photo we want to print ,does this instant camera has a memory card so that we can see our photos ... sorry for asking these many questions 😅😅

[@WillLangston]

Hey! Yes, you need a film box to take photos. This is analog and not digital so it does not have a memory card. It completely works on chemicals instead of digital functions 😊 Hope that helps! 📸

[@kittyrules995]

im pretty sure there is 2 in 1 cameras that let you choose which photo you want to print, but theyre more expensive. (i think its called the instax mini liplay) there is also instax printers which let you print photos from your phone. but you will still need film for both :)

[@Fem_Boyo]

Hypothetically; if you put that back in the camera; and pressed the button; would the picture come out undamaged or would the new picture "overlap" due to it being exp)osed to light again? I've seen a few magic tricks using pre-shot flims. Not sure how to explain it, but I hope you understand.

[@WillLangston]

Hello and thanks for watching: once the film is fully exposed to light like these you cannot take a double exposure. However, it is is possible to shoot a double exposure with Instax but very tricky! I’ll try to post a short about how to do that soon!

[@panxoaltair1]

Love itttt

[@WillLangston]

Thanks for watching!

[@mehak6979]

Which film did you choose for that aesthetic photos or did you edit them before printing and which camera did you use to take those photos

[@WillLangston]

Just regular color film ✌️

[@mehak6979]

So no different lens or filter or Is this instax supposed to print in this color gradient

[@nishithabolla1987]

How long will the plastic film box stay for ????

[@WillLangston]

Hey! 👋 Instax film is designed to be used within one year of manufacture. Hope that helps!
