Hardly any other camera has inspired the imagination of creative people as much as the instant camera from the American company Polaroid. Whether it was a folding model or a professional studio camera, this amazing device was standard equipment in every studio for many years. Resourceful makers soon discovered that it could be used to do much more than just take snapshots in record time. Through clever manipulation, works were created that not only had their own format, but also their own visual language.
After the Polaroid almost completely disappeared from the scene with the advent of digital photography, it is experiencing a major revival in the age of Instagram & Co. To support Polaroid lovers in their creative work, Rhiannon Adam has written a highly inspiring manual. In it, the London artist presents numerous experimental techniques with which even beginners can achieve fascinating results. The helpful bag of tricks is supplemented by an introduction to the various camera and film types and an FAQ section in which practical questions about troubleshooting or sourcing materials are answered.
