What is this style of photography called?

All those photo's have a very 80's feel to them, very vintage and I wish I knew how to describe this style of photography. Any idea's?

Not sure if there is a style there, they just look like Polaroids taken with a very leaky camera!

Forkie's right, I think. Old Polaroid or maybe new Impossible Project instant film, messed about with. If that's a 1980's feel, most pictures actually taken in the 1980's have a 2021 feel.

I used to have an Instamatic camera I carried around as a pocket camera (much like today's camera-in-a-cell-phone). Most things shot with it seemed to have that sickly yellow tint to them as well. It could have been the processing but it seemed no matter where I had the film processed they always came out the same.

Those are almost certainly Polaroid shots. The extra space in the border at the bottom of the images is a giveaway.

Looks similar to this, which IS definitely old polaroid. It was taken in 1971...I know because I am on the left!

It looks like a Polaroid SX-70 type filter effect. If you like the Polaroid instant look, the "Poladroid" application does a good job. You can download it here. Poladroid project | the easiest and funniest Polaroid Image Maker

I believe it's called instagram.

It's not really a style as much as it's a technology, just like digital and film photography aren't considered styles of photography.

It looks like Polarioid Instamatic photos. Or something similar.

Looking at the guy's blog and flickr account suggests that he uses real Polaroid rather than fake, unless he is lying.

PS 'Instamatic' is a Kodak trademark, not Polaroid, and it wasn't instant film - it was the easy-load 126 system.

I'm aware of that, as I said, I had one. That yellow tint is what reminded me of them because mine always seemed to do that. Crummy plastic lens that turned yellow possibly.

I had forgotten the 126 Instamatics. Working at a camera store as a kid, I must have wrapped a thousand of those things at Christmas one year so I don't know how I could have forgotten them Mine wasn't the 126 though, it was 110. 126-format died out and was replaced by 110 cartridges somewhere in the early 70's as I recall.

Oh, my bad. I couldn't remember what brand Instamatic was under. I was considering getting one just for fun but the film now is EXPENSIVE.

You can try and Google Instagram, Instamatic, or Polaroid filter.
