Now that Polaroid is passe, not to mention unavailable, I have to replace that instant gratification technology with another one that's equally fast and easy.
Polaroids have been industry standard in the film industry, especially casting. The choreography goes like this:
Talent arrives at casting session...
Talent fills out casting application...
Casting assistant takes a head & shoulders Polaroid shot of talent that immediately gets stapled to the casting application...
Talent then brings casting app. into the studio, to be handed to the director. This immediate reference is important to the clients seated in the studio...
In addition to polos I also take digitals for my file. So...I need to replace Polaroid technology with a quick, easy, foolproof <g> and very portable, digital printing method...some way for the assistant to shoot and immediately print and staple. These are reference photos only and don't need to be magazine print quality! Because I cast in various locations and schlep equipment from location to location, compactness is important, too.
I'm hoping the many great HT photographers might have some suggestions. IOW...H E L P !!!
