The first print of a limited edition series of Vintage Life which forms part of my entry to the Royal Academy of Arts 2024 Summer Exhibition.
Made with one of the world's last working large format Polaroid cameras on a sheet of 40 year old 20x24 inch Polaroid film, the combination creates a unique cast and set of artefacts on each print that makes it special and impossible to recreate.
Originally captured on a Nikon F100 with Ilford HP5 film Vintage Life has picked up four awards, including a category win in the Architecture MasterPrize and an honorable mention in the International Photography Awards, and has been exhibited at FotoNostrum as a part of the 18th Pollux Awards.
The Artist's Proof of this print (which looked completely different!) was exhibited at The Other Art Fair presented by Saatchi Art and bought by a UK art collector.
