Shelby Lee Adams Rare 1 Of A Kind Polaroid, Art Photograph
Item History & Price
Making Polaroids is the first step in my process and has been since 1974. Working collaboratively with my subjects we get a Polaroid composition how we like it and then proceed to film. Polaroids are essential to my work and my subjects see how they will look on film. The original 16x20 edition of silver prints of Brice and Crow are no longer available. A few prints remain in the 11x14 inch size e...dition.
