Why Are Retro Cameras So Popular?
In Turkey, the retro camera trend has gained momentum especially since 2023. Instagram and TikTok content creators have started preferring the natural, grainy, and colorful CCD photos of the 2000s as an alternative to the AI-powered "perfect" visuals from smartphones. Another factor driving this trend is the worldwide revival of Y2K fashion.
