Job Summary
Job description
Hello. Were Polaroid. An iconic brand built by passionate people
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the 20th centurys most influential innovators Edwin Land whose philosophy was:Dont undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.
In 2008 Polaroid produced its last pack of instant film. But a group of passionate fans refused to let instant photography disappear. What started as The Impossible Project grew into a mission to preserve and reinvent analogue photography for a new generation.
