Mike Brodie’s aka "The Polaroid Kidd”. Brodie is a somewhat accidental documentary photographer. By photographing his friends, their homes, and lifestyles, Brodie has captured a marginalized segment of the American population that's not so prevalent in mainstream society. He did this using a Polaroid SX-70 camera over a three-year period as he traveled America. I’m a massive Polaroid fan and I think his work is amazing and it goes to show what a great format it can be. It also shows that it is the photographers’ skill and not necessarily the camera they are using that creates a great photograph. Within my website for the comm tech brief I dedicated a page to some of my Polaroid’s and I think that it people like Brodie are helping to raise the profile of Polaroid and I’m already thinking about creating another website that is dedicated solely to Polaroid’s.
