Widely recognised for his distinctive approach to Polaroid photography, as celebrated in his two books on the subject 'Please return Polaroid' (Steidl 2016) and 'Please Please return Polaroid' (Steidl 2023), Miles Aldridge is offering a limited number of private Polaroid portrait sessions at his London studio.

In this rare opportunity, sitters are invited into the artist’s London studio for a one-on-one hour-long Polaroid portrait session.

The studio is set up like a surreal and saturated photo booth with a selection of strange and iconic props from Miles' colourful universe: classic movie popcorn, bright yellow fried eggs, feather boas, retro telephones, oversized glasses in all the colours of the rainbow and more.

Sitters are also invited to bring personal items, contributing to a visual language that is both familiar and theatrical.

After the session, Miles will edit a selection of his favourite Polaroids and sign them for you. These can be professionally framed as singles, diptychs, triptychs etc.

You'll also be free to explore the studio which houses a large selection of Miles' artworks including prints, contact sheets, drawings, rare books and Polaroids.

These sessions are private and for a limited time only, arrangeable at a time and date of your choosing.

Sir Elton John by Miles Aldridge for TIME Magazine Icon of the Year, 2024

Inspired by his celebrated TIME Magazine cover shoot with Sir Elton John (captured in under 15 minutes) Miles Aldridge’s new project, 15 Minutes of Fame, explores the immediacy and intimacy of the Polaroid format. The resulting portraits are unmistakably Aldridge: bold, cinematic, and psychologically charged.

Over the years, Aldridge has photographed some of the most recognisable figures of our time, including David Lynch, Viola Davis, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Donatella Versace, and Sophie Turner.

"This is a rare opportunity for people to not only fully immerse themselves within my world, but become part of my story too" - Miles Aldridge
