Moderator, I didn't ask for the removal of the criticisms. Even though I don't agree with their perception, I wasn't offended by them. Please let the viewers speak their minds.
You are correct, it's the 500AF I always use. I have the Lomo Instant Wide but I struggle with manual focusing, and the vignetting is a bit too strong for my taste.
This is "natural" lighting. On the left side of the picture there's a big window, on the right side I used a golden reflector (110cm/3.6feet diameter, the foldable ones silver/golden sided). The reflector is on a stand, at waist level to not light the face, and very close, almost in the frame, to get the spotlight effect. I think the camera was on a tripod. I tried to replicate the halo effect with stobes but the only instax that I have with a sync is the Lomo Instant Wide and the vignetting is too strong. Now I mostly work with continuous led lights.
Thanks. I used an ambiguous title for the post. Some liked it, most didn’t mind, but those who didn’t like it got pretty upset.
Thank you for clarifying it, and thanks for the welcoming words.
You almost broke reddit with your hyperconformism.
You're difficult to please. English isn't my first language though.

Thanks.
I started using vegetation as a more creative way to censor my images for instagram, not only to comply with their rules on nudity but also to highlight the fact that these are tangible, physical pieces. Many viewers don’t realize they’re looking at a Polaroid/Instax, and this helps emphasize that. It’s also about finding creativity within constraints, working around the limitations forces me to experiment and evolve.
Here it's not necessary, so it depends on my mood or workflow, whether I prepare it for Instagram or scan it first. Sometimes raw and obscene is needed, other times something more delicate with room for imagination works better.
