Background

Before mobile phone cameras, the Polaroid camera was the only affordable equipment available to the average person to capture and instantly share a moment in time. 


"The company was founded in 1937 by Edwin H. Land, a young scientist and inventor who had a passion for photography. In 1947, Polaroid introduced its first instant camera, the Model 95. This camera used a unique film and development process that allowed users to produce a finished print in just 60 seconds." (read more on Analogue Wonderland)
