The polaroid print

Polaroids texture, its surrealistic colours, tainted like pastels, and intense black create its charm are just a few reasons for its unique beauty.
The use of various Polaroid emulsions complete the artists palet of techniques and nurtures his creativity. All this while adding the photo to the film thanks to the use of instant photo cameras : SX-70 or SLR-680.
It’s temporality is also unique, a fraction of a second in time needed to capture the instant and only a few minutes for the latter to develop.
The Polaroid is unique. However, it is possible to reproduce its effects on different art papers, by printing the image thanks to special pigmented ink. And get a fine art impression.
The molecules that compose the ink are organic, resistant to light, and oxygenation, which preserves the photo print.
This is why La Maison de l’argentique’s online gallery proposes original Polaroids, as well as reproduced vintage collections, inspired by the originals, in a big format perfect to decorate your room and more affordable to make art accessible to all.
