## What is Retro photo filters & effects?

“Retro photo filters & effects” is your own pocket-sized photographer. If you use this application, the need for additional photo editing disappears completely! This pocket-sized photographer provides us the most realistic imitation of disposable cameras. During the development phase of the application we were very inspired by disposable cameras from the 80s and 90s. Based on that, we made the photos taken with our app look 100% retro by imitating the colors, structure, noise and lighting of the film.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Choose your favorite filter
2. Take a photo
3. Observe the retro film effect
4. Save the photo to your gallery

To unblock each camera, you only need 0.99$, plus you have one free trial to see how you like it. The price of disposable cameras ranges from 9$ to 50$ AND they quickly generate plastic waste, since they are thrown away right after taking 24 to 36 photos. Do we really want to pollute our planet with even more plastic? Furthermore, if you want to take more pictures, you need to buy another disposable camera which will inevitably be thrown away. For this reason, we wanted to develop this app. We believe it helps save our planet from additional plastic waste.

Kodak FunSaver
This is the most common disposable camera. The film (800 iso) has a big exposure latitude which makes it a lot more flexible and universal. It can be used to take photos outside without capturing glares in your pictures, and at the same time it also operates really well in low light. The resulting photos have very pleasant warm hues.

Fujifilm Quick Snap
The camera (400 iso) produces a more noisy, grainy look, which mean that you will need to use flash in low light settings. Quick Snap works best when used outside without flash and in low light with flash. The colors are very pleasant and light objects often get a purple hue.

FujiFilm Waterproof Quick Snap
The camera works a bit better with skin tones than Fuji Quick Snap. It also works well in lo light settings due to the 800iso film.

Kodak Water & Sport Waterproof
A very universal camera for low light settings.

Lomo 400 Simple Use
This camera has a great exposure latitude, little noise and very soothing hues.

LomoChrome Purple Simple Use
A unique camera with lovely hues and a medium film grain.
