Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Polaroïds are presented to the public for the first time in 2018. Annotated, they are a sketch, the first composition before shooting. The Polaroïd was used to make his light, allowing him to adjust his diaphragm and shutter speed. They are the ancestors of digital screens that display data instantly.
Each unique Polaroïd is accompanied by it’s corresponding photograph. The collector acquires the Polaroïd in addition to the photograph signed and annotated by Yann Arthus-Bertrand « Polaroïd & Print ».
