Imagine
a camera that stands 5-feet (150 cm) high and weighs
235 pounds (106 kg). Big, bulky and beautiful! At least
that's what people say about it, especially after seeing the gorgeous,
superbly detailed, color and black-and-white 20x24-inch (50x60 cm)
prints it produces.
Developed to accurately reproduce works of art, especially
paintings and tapestries, the camera was soon used as a
creative tool to make original photographs. At 20x24 studios
in New York City, Boston, Cambridge, Prague, and, most recently,
San Francisco, talented artists explore the large-format
system for personal and commercial expression.
Let's see the camera in action, on location with William
Wegman and his famous dogs.
Timothy
Greenfield-Sanders frequently uses Polaroid's 20x24
camera to photograph celebrities. During the 1999 Sundance
Film Festival, an array of talented film stars posed before
this renowned portraitist and the ultra-large instant camera.
Also renowned for his portraits of celebrities, Douglas
Kirkland visited Polaroid's 20x24 studio in New York
City to try a different approach to his workphotographing
a dancer in motion. Take a look and share this new experience
with him.
