Now back in print: two volumes of Polaroids taken by the iconic cinematographer
Known for his pioneering camerawork and virtuoso lighting, Robby M ller (1940-2018) was one of the most important cinematographers in modern film history. His special vision imprinted itself in modern cinema over the course of a long, illustrious career marked by M ller's long-term collaborations with directors such as Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars von Trier. As he worked, M ller maintained his own working archive, keeping Polaroid photographs, letters, notes from directors, and his own musings and photographs from set. In 2016, this material was presented in a major exhibition at the EYE Film Museum Amsterdam, accompanied by the premier publication of the Polaroids. Now back in print for the third time, Polaroid is a two-volume slipcased set of M ller's Polaroids, divided into Exterior and Interior, which offers the opportunity to reassess his photographic work, characterized by the same poetic aesthetic that infused his films.
