Polaroid SX-70 Self Portrait
Finally got around to creating a space to post my Polaroid shots over on Instagram (@polaroidsbyscott) and it's nice to share here for the first time in so long!
Starting with the first “proper” photo I was able to take with my SX-70 back in August 2021.
I got my #SX70 off eBay in October 2020 however the mirror inside was catching (a known- issue with the early SX-70 models) so you had to shoot the camera on it’s side to be able to get a “proper” photo from it.
You can watch Part One of my journey so far with this beautiful camera here - youtu.be/NMlb6oqRj1E
Over half a year later I sent it off to Polanthropy down in London to get fixed and converted to take 600 film instead of the slower SX-70 film and decided to capture my first “proper” photo from it on camera which is why my 5D mkii is in the background.
This is probably one of my fave self portraits and it’s exciting that I got to capture the moment it was created on camera!
