POLAROID PORTRAITS
FAUNA & FILM PRESENTS
Genuine Polaroid film takes up to 24 hours to complete the chemical processes involved in development. Allow your portrait plenty of time to develop before enjoying your image!
Shaking your Polaroid while it's developing can harm the delicate layers of chemistry causing distortion and other flaws.
Your Polaroid will continue to be light-sensitive for around 24 hours. UV exposure can cause fading to your still-developing image.
Your developing Polaroid is also sensitive to extreme temperatures. Anything above 82º or below 55º can give your photo an unintentional yellow or blue cast.
Little chemical reactions will continue to occur in your Polaroid for 30 days. For best long-term results, minimize UV exposure during that time to prevent fading.
After growing up in the early 2000s, we have found that our creative inspiration derives from the mediums that invoke the most nostalgia for us. When we look back at the documentation of our favorite childhood memories, we see moments preserved on 35mm film from our grandmother’s point-and-shoot. We see pixelated home movies recorded on pre-smartphone Sony handycams. Those mediums represent our earliest, most cherished memories, so it was only natural to carry them with us into adulthood. In the hyper-digital, fast-paced world of the 2020s, we find the unmatched quality beyond worth the added care and investment these mediums demand.
