Give your photos a retro glow

From moody 35mm tones to the unmistakable flash of a 2000s digicam, vintage-inspired photography styles are back in a big way. And leading the charge is Dazz Cam: the photo-editing app beloved by creators for its rich library of filters that recreate the textures, light leaks and imperfections of analogue cameras.

Whether you’re reliving Y2K memories or crafting a dreamy photo dump, Dazz Cam’s five signature filters help turn everyday shots into nostalgic keepsakes.

Experiment with camera types to capture the vintage look you’re after.

Digital

Capture the early 2000s aesthetic with filters that mimic classic digicams. Think flash-heavy, slightly grainy shots with cool tones and date stamps.

Pro tip: Use these for nightlife pics, street fashion or any scene with strong lighting – the flashy glow adds extra drama.

Video

Turn your stills into frame grabs from a vintage camcorder. These filters add subtle motion blur, timestamp overlays and a nostalgic VHS tint.

Pro tip: Ideal for storytelling. Try a series of candid shots to mimic scenes from a coming-of-age film.

Vintage 135

Inspired by 35mm film, this category delivers crisp yet moody tones with rich contrast and authentic grain.

Pro tip: Great for portraits and travel shots. Shoot in natural light to make the colours and grain stand out.

Vintage 120

Based on medium-format film, these filters offer a dreamy softness with muted highlights and pastel-like hues.

Pro tip: Use for romantic scenery or still life: flowers, cafes, sunsets. It’s a mood in every frame.

Polaroid

Bring back the instant-print look with square crops, soft fades and that unmistakable white border.

Pro tip: Best used for casual moments – think brunches, pets or everyday joys. Add a caption or doodle for extra charm.
