Abstract
An image bearing template is inserted into a film assemblage incorporating a cassette with instant-type film units therein. The cassette is inserted into a camera to produce film units having the indicia of the template thereon. Said camera includes a flash unit and a lens opening and interposed between the camera housing and the object to be photographed is a shield. The shield is generally opaque having a white reflective surface thereon which reflects part of the light from the flash unit back toward the lens of the camera. Some of the light from the flash unit passes through an aperture in the shield to be reflected from the object to be photographed and light reflected therefrom passes through a second aperture in the shield and directly to the lens in the front wall of the camera.
