We were inspired by the artist’s boundary-pushing imagination at the intersection of art and music culture. Considering that we’ve entered the music space, we wanted to celebrate it with a film collaboration, and strengthen our association with music culture.
Plus, Bowie was an analog photography enthusiast and has been shot many times on Polaroid cameras,adding an extra element to the story and our partnership.
Bowie has worked with various mediums – including Polaroid. The cover artwork of his 1979 Lodger album for instance is a Polaroid photograph by Brian Duffy.

About Polaroid
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by Edwin Land as an icon of innovation and engineering. The company’s launch of the Polaroid Land camera in 1947, which marked the genesis of instant photography, and subsequent introduction of the breakthrough Polaroid SX-70 camera in 1972 and many others, would firmly cement Polaroid’s standing as a technological pioneer and cultural phenomenon during its peak. However, at the turn of the century, the company would be faced with new realities surrounding digital technology’s swift rise and ceased the production of instant film in 2008. But that was short-lived; a dedicated group of instant photography fans would save the last Polaroid factory in the Netherlands under the name ‘The Impossible Project,’ paving way for the eventual rebirth of the original ‘Polaroid’ brand in the years following.
Today, Polaroid is in pursuit of unlocking the beauty in everyday life with instant photography tools that empower creators across the globe to capture meaningful moments. With recent introductions like the world’s smallest instant camera, the Polaroid Go camera, and the world’s first instant camera with built-in manual controls, the Polaroid I-2 camera, the company that we have come to know and love for over 80 years is rooted back in the spirit of analog innovation for the modern age.
