Widely recognized for his distinctive approach to Polaroid photography, as celebrated in his acclaimed series of books Please return Polaroid (Steidl 2016), British artist Miles Aldridge is offering a limited number of exclusive portrait sessions at Sotheby's iconic Breuer Building in New York, to coincide with AIPAD.
Each intimate session lasts 20 minutes: 15 minutes shooting in front of Miles' iconic orange curtain, followed by 5 minutes waiting while your Polaroids develop. Upon arrival, your group will be welcomed by the wonderful Sotheby's staff as you prepare to step into the artist's vibrant, cinematic world.
In this rare opportunity, you'll be photographed surrounded by props from Miles' signature universe: classic movie popcorn, feather boas, retro telephones, and oversized glasses in all the colors of the rainbow. You're encouraged to bring personal items that contribute to a visual language that is both familiar and theatrical. Wear something bold!
Miles will personally select and sign his favourite Polaroids from your session, creating memories to treasure forever.
These portrait sessions are available only at Sotheby's New York — a unique chance to be photographed by Miles Aldridge and take home signed original works from an internationally acclaimed artist.
