Polaroid

Polaroid refers to a brand of cameras and film known for producing instant photographs. These cameras contain built-in chemical processes that develop the picture immediately after you take it, resulting in a physical print within minutes. Originally popular in the mid-20th century, Polaroids became iconic for their quick results and distinctive instant images. Today, the term is often used broadly to describe any instant photo, and modern versions have updated technology while maintaining the classic instant-print experience.
