3. Photo Dumps

Casual, unfiltered photo collections. The anti-curated aesthetic. Use our collage maker to create dump-style grids.

4. 0.5x Lens Shots

Ultra-wide selfies that distort the foreground. Funny, candid, unflattering on purpose. Can't replicate this in editing — use ultra-wide on your phone.

5. Disposable Camera Style

Single-use camera aesthetic: date stamp, random light leaks, low-fi feel. Our timestamp + grain + light leak overlays nail this.

6. Cinematic 2.35:1 Crop

Black bars on top/bottom like a movie. Apply our Letterbox frame overlay or crop to 2.35:1 ratio.

7. Neon/Cyberpunk Edits

8. Minimalist Flat Lays
