In this episode of Exploring Photography, Mark Wallace goes retro by using his old Polaroid Land Camera in the studio. Many of the older instant film cameras have a sync port which can be used to connect a radio trigger like a PocketWizard Plus III. Then your camera can trigger studio strobes for some awesome instant shots! And yes, there is film available for these cameras (see below). It’s a great way to create one-of-a-kind snapshots of a moment in time.
