Instant Film Society

OUR HOME

In the fall of 2012, Daniel Rodrigue and Justin Goode met for the first time over a beer at a local bar in Dallas. Their paths first crossed due to their outspoken passion for instant film. Following that fateful meeting the pair began vectoring towards what is now the Instant Film Society, a group of photographers who enjoy sharing with others what they prefer to do most of the time ... shoot instant film. The Instant Film Society's first #PolaWalk was scheduled at the State Fair of Texas in 2012, and soon after was the first "PolaCon", the world's first 3-day instant film conference, which now attracts hundreds of likeminded photographers from all over the world. The rest is "instant history."
