Polaroid introduces a new look at the limited-edition Now Generation 2 camera, which is the latest collaboration that snaps instant photos celebrating the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The camera is adorned with a unique design that is inspired by his work, specifically influenced by the Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump painting.
Each one of the cameras is 'hydro-dipped' which means that it is decorated with a unique pattern that references the paintings. This makes sure that no two cameras are the same, making each one a special collector's item. Notably, each pack of the brand's instant film features 10 frame designs -- each one displays snippets of Basqiuat's work. The frames are a perfect finishing touch to the instant photos.
