David Dobrik launches David’s Disposable app, lets users create retro-style photos

The app is available now in the US.

Internet celebrity David Dobrik has launched "David's Disposable" retro photography app for enthusiasts after growing interest demonstrated through his second Instagram account.

Dobrik first found fame back on Vine, the now-defunct short video sharing platform on which TikTok is somewhat based. He then started vlogging on YouTube in 2014 before exploding into the zeitgeist in 2019 with his YouTube channel, a voice acting role in The Angry Birds Movie 2 and his appearance as a judge on TV show America's Most Musical Family. He now has over 11 million followers on his main Instagram account.

A perhaps less famous side hobby of Dobrik's is his second Instagram account, called David's Disposable, where he shares some very retro- style photos taken using disposable cameras. He's built up a following of just under 3 million followers on that account, showing that there is great interest in that particular style of photography, perhaps primarily among the nostalgic or photography enthusiasts in general.

This "disposable" trend has been picked up by others on Instagram, namely Tana Mongeau and Trisha Payas. Further showing that there is indeed interest in this seemingly forgotten niche sub-genre of photography.
