Vintage instant-film snapshot with a white border

№ 102

№ The prompt

Edit this photo into a vintage instant-film snapshot. Add a thick white instant-film border, a soft faded colour grade with slightly lifted blacks, and subtle grain so it reads as a developed print. Keep every face and the composition exactly as they are — only the border, grade, and grain are added. Treat this as a generic instant-film look, not any specific camera brand.

  • Input

    A casual portrait or couple photo you own (use a synthetic or stock-style photo, not a real identifiable person).

  • Preserve

    Faces, identity, and composition; only the white border, grade, and grain are added.

  • Avoid

    Reshaping faces, fading the image into mush, or imitating a trademarked instant-camera brand.
