  • Playing with Otis

    And by playing I mean dangling a treat so he would actually get into the shot. I swear he knew I wanted to take a photo of him so he deliberately ignored my calls.

  • The Five Rise Locks, Bingley, Yorkshire

    I nearly dropped my camera into the canal and the result being I somehow managed to scratch up this Polaroid snap. Which is annoying, but I like the lightning effect it created, plus the scratches and the expired nature of the film makes it look even more vintage. The five rise locks of the Liverpool-Leeds…

  • St Paul’s Cathedral – Expired Polaroid Film

    Despite the smudges this could be one of my favourite polaroids I have ever taken…

  • Brighton Pier – Expired Polaroid Film

    I went to Brighton with my dad last week as a birthday day trip. I had never been before, and on a sunny day it was great to soak up the atmosphere that possesses the vibrant edginess of London, but combined with the relaxing feeling of being by the sea.

  • The Novo Cemetery – expired Polaroid film

    Some universities boast a stunning lake, a church, or a library used as Dumbledore’s office. At Queen Mary, University of London, we have a cemetery. It is actually interesting: it is a Grade II listed Jewish cemetery, and the east end of London is famous for its rich Jewish cultural heritage as well as its hipsters…

  • Comparing Analogue and Digital Photography for Amateurs Like Me

    (An advantage of using both is this concept. Not my own, maybe one day I’ll give it a go..) Investing in a Polaroid camera and a DSLR are quite possibly two of the best investments I have ever done. I never thought I’d ever be one to be interested in photography, but I always fancied…

  • A Few shots of East London

    Using *just* expired film (my bad) the colours didn’t develop fully, but to me it gives it a vintage, or even timeless, feel to the photo, which I always find to be a fun quality of using a Polaroid camera. (This one looks better in real life I swear, makes me think I need to find a…

    The Impossible Project Colour 600 Poisoned Paradise Film Hyde Park 29/11/14

  • Poisoned Paradise Polaroids

    A few months ago The Impossible Project released a new range of film for 600 type polaroid cameras (see here). Three choices for the ‘Poisoned Paradise’ theme: colour film with different patterned frames of tiny snakes entwining around exotic flowers. It was love at first sight as I became over excited and ordered the triple pack to test all…

  • Expired Polaroid Film

    Gone are the days when Polaroid was a company that sold instant film and cameras. Since then, a group of previous Polaroid workers started their own company, The Impossible Project, and have been producing their own instant film for Polaroid cameras. They are life savers for instant film artists and amateurs. You are still able…
