One of my favorite cameras of all time is my Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 camera. I bought it when I was in high school and fell in love with wide polaroids that captured so much more of the environment and also kept the sharpness in the polaroids. I have captured multiple polaroids throughout my lifetime and wanted to showcase some that capture my love for film especially wide polaroids.

One of the purchases for the beginning of my junior year was purchasing an Instax Square camera. It felt a bit different because it felt like my Instax Wide was sharper when capturing different moments but I still wanted to give the camera a chance. I was asked by my friend Cristy to do some behind-the-scenes film photography for her short film, Corazones Dulces. I had a great time on set and here are some scanned polaroids from the two-day set.

This is just the very few polaroids I have scanned but I truly do love the art of film photography, especially with polaroids big and small. When I capture moments on Polaroid, people grow so much anticipation to see how the film develops instantly and it's my favorite thing to be patient and see the outcome of what I see through my eyes.
