For the past 50 years, from the inception of instant photography, Polaroid has become a medium used and loved by professional photographers. Since the early years of Polaroid film testing in the late 1940s, artists have experimented with Polaroid film materials to create timeless images that are now a document of history. Upon hearing Polaroid’s announcement that they will no longer be renewing stocks of instant film, the AOP Gallery hosts an exhibition of AOP members best work shot on Polaroid to mark the end of an era.

All images have originated from one of the many Polaroid’s Instant Film Products. The exhibition looks back retrospectively over past decades up to the present day. The collection of images is diverse and illustrates the different ways Polaroid can be used. Take a look around this landmark show and enjoy the unique, and often spontaneous, quality of Polaroid film.

The exhibition was featured in the Sunday Times Magazine, click here to read the review.
