Impossible Project Film Looks

The reinvented instant film: soft, pastel and genuinely unpredictable.

When Polaroid stopped making instant film in 2008, the Impossible Project bought the last factory and had to reinvent the chemistry from scratch without the original formulas. The early films were unstable, colour-shifted as they developed and never quite behaved twice — which is why these renderings come in cold and warm pairs rather than one correct version. That instability is the look.
