该宝丽来材料属于纸质底材的第一代拆分式宝丽来，称为“peel-apart”宝丽来，直到二千年初仍有 10x8、5x4 与 3x4 的格式，随后停止生产。请勿与现今由 Polaroid Originals 生产的“集成式”材料混淆。这是一张“Type 55” 打印，具有随胶片提供的涂层。该涂层的设计目的是保护细银像，影像出现后立即涂覆。

Matthew Houston（伦敦，1961 年）最为人所知的是《Catalogue of Chaos》系列——对摄影材料与工艺的深入探索。
这是他在 1990 年代末开始的一系列宝丽来照片与银盐印刷中的一张。

"Matthew Houston studied printmaking at the Central School of Art, London, and later earned a First Class degree in photography from the London College of Printing. He began photographing models, actors, and dancers on a small stage he built while running a cabaret on a sailing ship. This stage was the setting for many of his large-format photographs and Polaroids in the late 1990s. Houston notes that the stage itself suggested the inclusion of a person and acted as a pedestal for his subjects. His photographs are known for their intimate often nostalgic qualities and are the result of an "open experiment" with his subjects. He focuses on finding common ground with the model and capturing what happens naturally. His photographs sometimes include subtle references to mythological figures and paintings. This is not meant to be a fixed theme, but a "gentle reference" that emerged from the stage-like setting of his early portraits."*"

"The little stage I built was part of the studio and I began to make photographs of performers, friends, actors and models. Using Polaroid film gave the material a chance to be part of the picture as well. Polaroid is known for all kinds of quirks and accidents that are a reminder of process. As with other photographs I've made I feel it important that material and process are still included, still evident.”**

一段我发现的展评摘录 - BIP off, Liege - 由 Philippe Herbert
"Parcours atypique : ancien propriétaire d’un cabaret, il photographie depuis l’âge de 7 ans mais il a commencé cette série à 38 ans. Sur une scène improvisée, il photographie au Polaroïd grand format des femmes dénudées avec beaucoup de tendresse. Il renouvelle le genre du nu."
