Shortstache Filter

PolarPro's collaboration with Garrett King, better known as Shortstache, has led to the creation of a distinctive filter combination that captures his iconic photographic style. This blend, known as the "Everyday Filter," merges the functionalities of a Polarizer and Black Mist filter, offering photographers a versatile tool that enhances image quality while staying true to an artistic vision.

The Circular Polarizer element of the filter is key for achieving a crisp and clear image. It helps in reducing reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and it intensifies the blue of the sky and the green of foliage, resulting in a more vivid and contrasted picture. This feature is particularly useful in landscape photography, where the clarity and purity of colors are paramount.

On the other hand, the Black Mist component introduces a subtle diffusion effect to the image, softening the harshness of digital photography by slightly blooming the highlights. This effect is reminiscent of the warmth and character of film photography, adding a gentle, cinematic quality to the images. It's especially beneficial for portrait photographers looking to achieve a flattering, dreamlike effect in their subjects' skin tones and the overall atmosphere of the shot.

Uniquely, each filter in this collaboration is finished in a matte green tone, a nod to Shortstache's preferred aesthetic. This not only ensures that the filters align with his signature style but also adds a stylish touch to the photographer's gear. The choice of color reflects a thoughtful consideration of both function and form, underscoring the artistic aspect of photography equipment.

By combining these two effects in one, the "Everyday Filter" is an ideal solution for photographers looking to streamline their workflow without sacrificing creative flexibility. It's a testament to the power of collaboration between technology and artistry, offering a practical tool that doesn't compromise on delivering a distinctive photographic look. This filter stands as a versatile addition to any photographer's kit, ready to enhance a wide range of photographic situations with its dual capabilities.

Choose from two diffusion strengths:

EveryDay 1/4 Strength - Black Mist provides subtle halation and blooming of expression while maintaining depth in shadows/blacks tones. This gives your photo an additional dimension and character during photography.
Mist + PL 1/2 Strength - Offers a stylish cinematic look with a stronger effect. This flourish of light sources gives your photo even more dimension than the Everyday version. Emulates a film-like look.
