The Diana camera is a plastic-bodied box camera utilizing 120 rollfilm. It takes twelve 6×6 cm photographs using a simple plastic meniscus lens. Originally marketed as an inexpensive novelty gift item, the Diana was later used by professional photographers to take soft focus, impressionistic photographs somewhat reminiscent of the Pictorialist Period of artistic photography, but utilizing contemporary themes and concepts.
What is special about Diana, is the soft, dreamy colour texture it captures in film. The simple yet rich colours present a retro-story world itself. Its vintage style is remained, and the photo must by shot in conventional film exposure.
