With the rise of Instagram, that ‘instant photo’ look has become quite popular for event photography, and more recently, videography.

Upon discovering this, I looked and played around painfully trying to achieve the look myself, until I discovered Nick Campbell’s Vintage Photo Looks for Magic Bullet Looks. There is an ‘instant photo’ version that works perfect with a little tweaking for most of the videos we shoot, depending on the lighting situation of course. I have found that too many colored strobe lights, or extreme low light situations do not work well with this look.

Besides that, though, the look works like a charm. Check out the Sweet 16 Highlight video above for an example of this look. What do you think?
