Polaroid And Fashion

On the digital side of the house, which means my fashion / beauty photography side I did a shoot this past weekend for a fashion magazine.   Full creative team was involved.  As always I decided to pull out my trusty Polaroid Silver Express and a pack of Impossible Project 600 Color and take a shot of each look.  

This is Gen 2.0 film so it's still a bit creamy and soft focus, but I still enjoy the process.  If nothing else I get to dazzle the young models by using a camera older than they are.

Just for giggles, instant giggles.

Model Shoot Equals Polaroids

You might know I also shoot digital, and when I do it's fashion & beauty photography in studio.  What I normally do is whenever I do a model shoot I also play around with a pack or two of film in one of my Polaroid or FujiFilm cameras.  Here's a few shots from my photoshoot with model Eclipse Monday.  The nice thing is that they are instant (obviously) and most of people I shoot have never seen them.  It's a fun give-away at the end of a shoot.  I even have one of the Polaroids signed & hang it in the studio.

Here are some recent Polaroid's using a Polaroid 600 Silver Express & a Polaroid ColorPack III.  The ColorPack used a pack of Fujifilm FP-100C & The Polaroid a pack of Impossible Project 600 B&W.  Tons of fun to play around.

Polaroid Goodness Compliments of FujiFilm & The Impossible Project

I did a recent commercial fashion shoot for an Indianapolis fashion boutique called LuckyB Boutique.  Of course I used digital.  However, while doing the shoot I whipped out my Polaroids.  This time I used my newly purchased Polaroid Silver Express (600 film) and a Polaroid ColorPack III Land camera.  For the ColorPack I used a package of FujiFilm FP-1000C & a flashcube.  For the Silver Express I used a pack of The Impossible Project's 600 Color.

It is always fun, and my young models had never seen a ColorPack camera.  Fun
