35 Lovers 3 Conversations 73 Palettes 17 Colors 29 Patterns

Polaroid pictures have very specific colours and they fascinate me. So I suggest we create palettes from beautiful Polaroid pictures we love !

Please check the Intro conversation to know a bit more about the group and introduce yourself.

If you're looking for inspiration, you'll find a link to a big list of Polaroid collections that I find moving and inspiring in the Intro conversation.

And when you create a palette, please try to add the original Pola pic.

See you !

Welcome to the Polaroid love group!

Please feel free to use this conversation thread to introduce yourself and tell us why you love Polaroid colours. If you need inspiration, I gathered 18 links to Polaroid collections.

If you use your own Pola pics, it's even better. Don't forget to add them when you create your palettes to share your talent!

Polaroids are a real passion and I'll do my best to make this group as lively and colourful as possible.

Hello
I love poloroids because of all the manipulation that you can do with them after taking the pictures. This manipulation often leads to some off colours and strange photo effects.

hiya, thanks for the invite! Not sure how much I can contribute as I haven't had a Polaroid camera since I was small, but I look forward to seeing what you guys will do. Maybe I can find some old photos somewhere too. :D

There's a link to loads of great Polaroid collections in the first post of this conversation, and it's exactly why I placed it here ;)

I haven't worked a lot with polaroid but have considerable experience with alternative (non-silver), toy and pinhole photography - and as a huge fan of analogue photography (not a digital lemming) this sounds like fun.
