POLAROID ORIGINALS: THE REVIVAL OF THE CLASSIC INSTANT CAMERA
Hurray!! Polaroid Revival Creative Review Article
We’re both delighted to learn through Creative Review, that Polaroid is making a big comeback! In our humble opinions, fantastic news and long over due. As avid users of Polaroid materials back in the 90’s and early years of the new millennium, we greatly missed its withdrawal from the photographic arena and welcome it back with open arms.

Magical Landscapes Secret Places
Over the years Ygraine and Oliver have frequently featured in our work, the most notable images to date are for our Magnum Opus Dreams of Diamonds.
As the old saying goes ‘time waits for no man’. Oliver is now in his mid-teens and Ygraine is twelve, but they have continued to remain a source of inspiration for us and we’re delighted to announce they will feature in our new project Magical Landscapes Secret Places.
We’ve been photographing them for over a decade - in Ygraine’s case, she was just three years old when we took the first images of her that would later appear in Dreams Of Diamonds and Magical Landscapes Secret Places.
Sometimes you take a gamble when photographing the same models from a very young age through to their teens. Faces can change dramatically, bodies change, equally important, attitudes change. However, we’re pleased to say we’ve been extremely fortunate with our decision to continue to use Ygraine and Oliver, as the years go by they just keep getting better and better both in looks and personality.
Memories from Skye
Ygraine and Oliver
The image below - one of many taken that day - shows our wonderful niece and nephew Ygraine and Oliver, with their little dog Dora. This was taken earlier this year, August 2017, at the Quiraing on The Isle of Skye, during their holiday to Scotland. Dora, by the way is a little Boston Terrier, whose full name is Pandora.
