Martin L Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 A bit of a long shot this but can anyone identify: 1. The photog? 2. The model? 3. The camera ( it is some large format polaroid, unfortunately the 'alamy' water mark obscures it a bit) Google Lens and other searches haven't turned up much Probably nobody well known but you never know I took it in Red Square, Moscow 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Can't help with the model or photographer but I'm guessing that the camera would be a Mamiya RB67 or RZ67 with a polaroid back in place. The film back is probably amongst the detritus on the ground which would help to identify it. Edited October 29, 2023 by Harry Harrison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the gubbins is a flash head and its battery pack, and what looks like a meter case. He's holding a developing Polaroid, possibly in a cold clip. Traditionally you put it in your armpit to keep it warm. Looking at the catches on the legs I think the tripod is a Manfrotto- Gitzos had sleeve-type locks.

Martin L Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks both, in the orig you can just make out 'Polaroid' on the back plate so that makes sense , I guess it helps that he is holding some polaroid film . Terrific help ta Edited October 29, 2023 by Martin L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
