Learning from the 4 Masters of Instant Photography: A Guide to Curating Fashion

Instant photography has always been associated with fashion. The styles of these master photographers have found their own, eccentric yet stylish ways to play around instant film and cameras.

Mimicking Warholian portraiture

The key to recreating the iconic instant portraits of Andy Warhol is to ensure that this element remains dominant: simplicity. Look for solid backgrounds (black or white, preferably), and keep an appropriate, intimate distance between you and your subject. True to the basics of portraiture, this style is meant to capture the purest essence of the subject.

Some photographs from the community have completely nailed Warhol’s style.

Reminiscent of Helmut Newton’s editorials

You may already be familiar with Helmut Newton’s edgy photographic signature. He also manifested that attitude in his own instant editorial photographs. Unlike Warhol, Newton’s all about experimentation, creating attitude and treating instant photography as a high-fashion work, even if one’s just using an instant camera.

These photographs are perfect contemporary incarnations of Newton’s instant photography.
