BTS: Photog Shows Off Modified Polaroid Capable of Shooting 4×5 Instant Film

Photographer Alastair Bird recently came across a modified Polaroid camera that is capable of shooting 4×5 instant film. So, naturally, he put it to work!
Mostly discontinued, but still acquirable thanks to FujiFilm, 4×5 Instant film is a rare breed to come by.

As with most experimental photography, Bird’s endeavors didn’t come without some failures. As he explained to The Phoblographer:

Using the camera was quite a challenge — if you notice at one point I’m shooting and the dark slide is in — whoops. Those shots didn’t turn out too well. But what I find is that when I really challenge myself with my equipment, it’s always amazing what I get and it is worth the effort.

 Whether it’s information or inspiration you come away with, it won’t at all be time wasted.  If you’re still curious, head over to The Phoblographer to read the rest of their interview with Bird.
