Overview and quickfacts
Polaroid is a type of instant camera that was first introduced in the late 1940s. It uses self-developing film to produce instant photographs. The camera was invented by Edwin Land, who also founded the Polaroid Corporation. Polaroid cameras were once very popular, but they have since been replaced by digital cameras. However, the unique look of Polaroid photographs has made them popular among artists. Many artists use Polaroid cameras to create unique images that cannot be replicated with digital technology. Polaroid photographs have a distinctive look that is characterized by soft colors and blurred edges. The photographs often have a dreamlike quality, which has made them popular among artists who use them to create surreal images.
The art style is also known as: instant camera, Polaroid camera
