the modified SQ6

I found this guy online that was customizing instant camera’s putting lenses on them for better control of focus, exposure, etc. and for some money you can get the one you have customized or he would charge you the cost of the new one, the lens, and modifying the camera; the results are really kinda cool.

In keeping with my love for all things analog and film, I also love the look of instant film photos, maybe my kids were right I am stuck in the past, well they say the 80s but that may be true as well, but I do love the look of old film and yes I know all this can be done in photoshop these days and one can pretty much do anything in post, BUT, I prefer to do it this way, the same way I’ve always approached photography, if you can get it done in camera with as little post processing as possible, then awesome!

Here are a few of the shots I took with the camera, and if you’re interested this is his Instagram @option8.
