First time shooting with the Polaroid SX-70. We're going to go and shoot in a studio. So, let's head on over!

Polaroid SX 70 first came out in 1972 and is a folding single lens reflex Land camera which was produced by the Polaroid Corporation from 1972 to 1981. I had my Polaroid Land Camera Alpha One restored and couldn’t wait to shoot with it!

Once a shot has been taken it can take somewhere between 10-15 minutes to develop and you must ideally put it away in the dark to develop. You’ll see in the video how I shot with it and every time putting the polaroid away carefully before framing up the next shot.

Polaroid SX-70 clearly struggles in low light conditions. If you're gonna shoot this at night, or if you're gonna shoot this in a studio, make sure that you pop out a tripod, or even put it on a level surface if you don't have one. By doing this one tweak you're going get the images to come out better.

Ofcourse with Polaroid nothing is guaranteed but that’s not really the point here! It can be a little bit variable, and I strongly recommend you go out and just shoot. I think that part of this process is going out, shooting, and learning about the camera that you're using, and trying to capture those images that you're trying to capture.

I really hope you enjoyed this video. I'm going to be firing out a few more of these Polaroid SX-70 videos in the near future.
