Three Easy Tricks to Give Your Phone Photos a Warm Vintage Film Feel

Three practical ways to make phone photos feel like analog film: (1) use a mist filter on a lens with a phone adapter to soften details and add highlight bloom; (2) shoot in RAW/ProRAW and slightly overexpose to preserve dynamic range and achieve a brighter, film-like look; (3) edit with apps like Snapseed, VSCO, or Lightroom, applying grain and dialing back overly sharp details, using built-in presets (e.g., Apple Photographic Styles, Samsung My Filter) or external presets to taste for a warm, vintage vibe.
