Questions about Polaroid photo prompts
What is the polaroid hugging trend?
It's a polaroid-style photo of you hugging someone, often your younger self or a loved one, with flash and a white curtain. The Hugging my younger self prompt makes this.
How do I add handwriting to the polaroid frame?
Add a line like "with 'summer 26' handwritten in marker on the bottom of the frame". Short words come out best.
Why does my polaroid look too sharp?
Add 'slightly blurry, direct flash, faded colors'. Polaroids are soft; a perfectly sharp result looks digital.
