William Wegman Polaroids

By William Wegman

Book Overview

For almost 25 years, William Wegman has been producing photographs with the 20 x 24 Polaroid camera. This body of work began in 1979, when Wegman - already well known in the art world for his wry video and conceptual photographic work - was invited by Polaroid to try out this unusual camera. When Wegman and his dog, Man Ray, travelled to Boston to use the camera for the first time, a remarkable collaboration was launched. After Man Ray died in 1982, Wegman continued his exploration of the medium with non-canine subjects. In the late 1980s, he began to work with the dog Fay Ray and an expanding universe of her progeny.

Weims

If you have a Weim or just fancy their adorable face you have to get a copy of the book. The photos are wonderful. Great coffee table piece.

wegman yet again

Yes Wegman has many books about his dogs but this one is unlike most others, the 20X24 camera and what it can achieve is amazing. Wegman uses this camera to its fullest capturing his dogs in many amazing lights. A Wegman book all should own.
