To develop photos from a Pinsta camera, there are a number of steps that must be followed:

1. Fix your shot - Add the fixer and agitate for 60 seconds before extracting.

2. Wash your shot - Use a syringe to add fresh water and agitate for two minutes before extracting.

3. Open the camera - At this point, you should be able to view the image you have captured.

4. Collect used water - Dispose of used water and chemicals in the correct manner as advised by your local council.

5. Remove the paper - Add the paper from the camera into a drying frame to prevent it from curling.

6. Dry out the camera - Use a cloth or a paper towel to dry the camera. You are now ready to reload and take more photos.

This bundle is ideal for complete beginners as everything you need to begin capturing photos is included as standard. You will also have the option of shooting in either 4x5 or 8x10, giving you a range of compositions to try.

In order to take photographs with a Pinsta camera you will also need a film-changing dark bag (available in our shop). For paper, you can use anything in 4x5inch or 8x10inch format, but we recommend Harman Direct Positive paper. You will then need a suitable developer and fixer for your paper.
