Disposable Camera

In plain words

A direct front flash lights close faces brightly and leaves the background dark, with grain and slightly soft focus mixed in, like a memory snapshot.

When to use it

Party, travel and friend scenes, 90s and Y2K flashbacks, when you deliberately want an amateur look.
