Miles Aldridge (born 1964) is one of Britain’s most celebrated fashion photographers, who has worked for a number of international publications, including American and Italian Vogue, The New Yorker and The New York Times.
When Aldridge began his career in the early 1990s, working with Polaroids was more of a common practice for photographers than it is today. Like preparatory drawings sketched by painters, Aldridge used Polaroids as ‘studies’ to pre-check the lighting, colour and composition of his work. The instantaneous nature of the medium allowed Aldridge to manipulate the scene quickly and experiment with any changes, before the shoot officially commenced. Becoming somewhat of a ritual, Aldridge still creates Polaroid ‘studies’ today when producing new work.
Spanning almost two decades of Aldridge’s career, many of these Polaroid studies pre-empted some of Aldridge’s best known series, photographs such as ‘In the Garden’ (2017) and ‘New Utopias #3’ (2018). As unique variants of these sought after works, his Polaroids have become increasingly collectable and desirable. True to his cinematic oeuvre these works are ambiguous and intriguing – taking on a life of their own, beyond their preparatory intention. Whether an exacerbated gaze from a distressed housewife or a cigarette put-out in an egg yolk, Aldridge always leaves us wanting to know more.
