Our generation has witnessed the death and rebirth of Polaroid Instant Film; yet it is interesting to note that most model agencies have always preferred the format as a staple facet in portfolios. From the model's perspective the idea of a harshly lit and un-editable image is less than ideal. However; standing in the shoes of the photographer or creative director, it is always best to have an idea what you'll really be working with. Originally, Polaroids were used for their instant nature and ease. They are a great reference to physically clip to the model's profile. Now with next to no limitation of photo editing software, there is a huge demand by agencies to get unquestionably true images of their models. Polaroids and instant film achieve that necessary validity.
