Photography is not just passion alone, but it’s turned into a habit that we’re all so used to! Pictures do more than just remind you of a certain event that took place in the past. In fact, it’s what brings people together and conveys what you can’t describe with words; and we know it because here at the Lipstiq office, we can’t help but document every moment with a camera!
Now that everyone has a camera built into their smartphones, having actual photos in-hand seems almost nostalgic; which is why novelty cameras are becoming popular! Whether it’s a funky retro Polaroid, or a quirky cardboard camera, novelty cameras are totally worth investing in to always have a physical reminder of that wonderful moment you jut had! That, and it just looks totally cool.
