Fun, fast, and with a totally unique image quality, instant film is the perfect medium to get experimental with your photography. In this single day session, we’ll explore using a variety of Polaroid cameras to make creative and unexpected images using the new Polaroid Originals film. Then we’ll learn how to cut apart those iconic plastic frames and transfer our images onto art paper for a totally different look, inviting wrinkles, tears, and other surprising artifacts into the photographs. Forgetting about the “rules” of photography, we’ll dive into a sense of playfulness as we get inspired by the multitude of ways that artists have manipulated this medium to create one-of-a-kind imagery.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE
1. A brief overview of different cameras and film types in the Polaroid Originals system
2. Creative exposure techniques
