We are currently experiencing a new era of instantaneous gratification that celebrates both photography, and the untamed creative spirit. Filtering the reality surrounding us, shaping it into a work of art and chasing those rare and unique moments that make life worth living, is now part of our daily routine, regardless of how addictive it all sounds. The entire generative process could ring some familiar bells (you guys remember Polaroid?), but the constant technological evolution ads new levels of charm and enthusiasm to a otherwise deep-rooted activity.
And instead of allowing for the Instagram snaps to become instant disposable media, why not celebrate their unique features by turning the tiny photos into physical prints, with a twist? If you happen to have some social media enthusiast in your own circle of friends and family, because honestly who doesn’t these days, we would like to introduce a simple way to surprise them with the most original and personal gift this Christmas. Infuse their little Insta-treasures into real-life objects and bring their memories closer. We show you how.
