Another artist we were told about was Tarkovsy poloroids. Which we were passed round a book of his work. he's work interested me as the shots looked cinematic and the angles added depth and tone to each of the subjects, objects and establishments.

                         Polaroid by Andrei Tarkovsky from the book Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids from Thames and Hudson

     

                                                                         Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker (still), 1979.
