Despite all the advantages of digital photography—and especially its ubiquity thanks to smartphones—traditional photography hasn’t disappeared. On the contrary: it’s experiencing a renaissance, and for many, shooting analog means taking “real” photos and creating “authentic” images. Among these “real” photos, some hold a special status: Polaroids. They have always been imbued with the aura of not only being a “real photo,” but also a truly one-of-a-kind piece. As a result, these square photos with their distinctive white border have achieved cult status.
Given this, it’s no surprise that people also like to print digital photos in this Polaroid style. Of course, when printing with regular printers, you only get the look. If you also want the feel of a Polaroid—that is, the image on the relatively thick, sometimes slightly “flimsy” backing material—you’ll find the perfect solution in the POLAROID Lab.
The POLAROID Lab bridges the gap between digital photography and analog instant photography by connecting to a smartphone and exposing images displayed on its screen onto classic POLAROID film. This makes the POLAROID Lab essentially a mini photo lab for your desk, combining the advantages of digital photography with the charm of “real” photos and iconic Polaroids.
As part of a Christmas promotion, NORDFOTO Versand is offering the POLAROID Lab at over 30 percent off the previous retail price—either the POLAROID Lab device on its own or as a bundle with one black-and-white and one color film in the POLAROID Everything Box. However, both are available in limited quantities only, while supplies last!
