Accessories of the past have become new trends: think bucket hats, friendship bracelets and even jelly shoes. Our nostalgia has reached even our tech, with instant cameras and flip phones becoming the envious accessories to own. Celebrities including Machine Gun Kelly and Taylor Swift have even been spotted using retro cameras rather than their smartphones, as it creates quick keepsakes.

Snapping a pic on your smartphone may be the fastest way to take a photo, but instant cameras can capture spontaneous moments while creating tangible photographs you can hold in a matter of seconds.
If you’re ready to hop on the trend, Billboard spoke with Mitch Holson, a photographer at Atlantic Records who gave his tips and tricks for finding the right instant camera.
Before adding a camera to your cart, there’s another popular model (disposable cameras), which may seem similar to an instant camera, but hold a major difference.
“Film in a disposable camera is 35mm film, which needs to be developed after the fact — either in a lab or through self-processing,” Holson explained. “An instant camera uses a self-developing film, which provides you with results within a few minutes.”
If you’re not looking to get too technical, then an instant camera will be more user friendly.
“Oftentimes, the [instant] camera makes decisions for you depending on the lighting conditions, and the on-board flash makes taking photos in low light relatively simple for beginners looking for results,” he added. “So, it’s truly a snap-and-go camera if that’s how you like to take images. The other benefit is that you get to see your photos very quickly.”
Holson prefers using an instant camera with auto-focus capabilities for professional use as it provides sharper images. And, if you “aren’t looking for sharpness, [you] should embrace the overall softness of instant cameras” as “there’s something cool and nostalgic about it,” he shared. Weight will also be a big factor to consider, as the lighter the camera, the easier it will be to take out and snap a pic.
Read on to shop his picks (and a few reviewer-loved ones) below.
Amazon
Fujifilm Instax Mini EVO Hybrid Black Instant Camera
$349.95
Holson’s favorite to use is the Fujifilm Instax Mini for its modern-meets-retro design and features.
It “allows you to take photos digitally then choose which ones to print,” he said. Plus, the digital library allows you to look through photos and print them as much as you want. The kit even comes with 10 lenses and film effects for further customization.
Amazon
Polaroid Now+
$119.99 $149.99 20% OFF
For a more budget-friendly model, the Polaroid Now+ is an instant camera Holson says is ideal for the “everyday person.” Connect it to the accompanying app to personalize photos and use different filters. It also comes with five lenses for further customization.
BHP Photo Video
Mint Camera InstantKon RF70 Instant Film Camera
$899
This splurge-worthy option is another Holson pick, as the InstantKon RF70 Instant Film Camera gives you fast photos using a glass lens rather than the common plastic one. Beginners can use a the auto-focus feature while more experienced photographers can take advantage of the manual options.
Amazon
KODAK Mini Shot 2 Retro 4PASS 2-in-1 Instant Digital Camera
$99.99 $157.00 36% OFF
Kodak’s Mini Shot 2 is a compact instant camera reviewers are loving for its ability to easily slip into your purse or backpack.

Amazon

Lil Nas X Breaks Barriers in Coach’s ‘Courage to Be Real’ Campaign: Watch
06/07/2023
The campaign, titled “The Courage to Be Real,” is described on the website as “A call to action and our belief in courageous self-expression. Because when you embrace every side of yourself with confidence, you inspire others to express themselves authentically, too.”
This spoke especially to the rapper as he claims his “whole career has been about breaking down doors,” according to a quote by him on the campaign page. The line even features butterflies playing on the theme of “transformative” meaning everyone is a butterfly and can spread their wings to grow.
The collection also partners with his Montero tour, which can be seen in the graphics of the collection.
It makes sense that the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper would be a part of this collaboration as the he’s been a fan of the brand and even made his debut on the runway as an ambassador for Coach during their 2022 New York Fashion Week show.

Today, iterations of the colorful footwear are available in different styles by numerous brands and retailers including Amazon, Saks Off Fifth, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters and more.

Apple 2023 15.3-inch MacBook Air Laptop with M2 chip
$1,299.00
The new MacBook Air comes with a 15.3-inch screen, maintains a lightweight feel (weighing a little over 3 pounds) and is made from recycled aluminum. The slim width remains the same allowing you to easily slide it into your laptop tote bag. Plus it comes in four shades including gold, silver, midnight and space gray. Features you can look forward to using are Apple’s new M2 processing chip, which contains a powerful 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU and up to 24GB of unified memory. It’s also made with a liquid retina display that’ll allow you to stream your favorite Apple TV+ shows with a crystal clear picture. It’s also available in two storage sizes: 256GB and 512GB to fit your needs.
New tech announcements weren’t the only thing that took place during the WWDC 2023: The Writers Guild of America (WGA) made their presence known. On Monday (June 5), the writers strike continued during what the group called its “Apple Day of Action,” Deadline reported. Rather than stand outside with signs, though, the group was handing out leaflets to spread the word.
This comes as Apple TV+ grows in scale and relies on writers to create the stories we all know and love for shows including Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Platonic, Loot, Ghosted, Black Bird, Severance, Dear…, Carpool Karaoke: The Series, Tetris, The Problem with John Stewart, Bad Sisters, The Reluctant Traveler, Schmigadoon! and The Morning Show.
While you wait for the new tech to be released, take advantage of the deals we’ve found on AirPod Pros and iPads on Amazon that you can add to your travel necessities.

Need an excuse to celebrate your friends? Well, grab your besties and mark your calendars, because National Best Friends Day is Thursday (June 8). While you could surprise them with trendy matching bucket hats or identical tote bags, why not kick it old school with a classic piece of jewelry: friendship bracelets.
