Polapremium is a retail museum of all things related to ana­logue pho­tog­ra­phy. It was not sur­pris­ing to dis­cov­ered that the oper­a­tion was con­ceived by an ex-employee of Lomog­ra­phy. It was per­haps a spurred of desire to save Polaroid when they decided to shut shop of their entire film pro­duc­tion. But Flo­rian Kaps invested his heart and money to a niche that stiff, number-driven investors refused to see when they pur­chased Polaroid only a few years back and surely enough, Polaroid’s ana­logue prod­ucts have been on a land­slide to now its demise. Tim­ing is also a key — from rapid pur­chas­ing of fac­to­ries and nego­ti­a­tions to gath­er­ing spon­sors and gen­er­at­ing inter­ests. Both ends have to play their part to ensure a pos­i­tive out­come, the con­crete con­cept of demand and sup­ply. The pas­sion and clever eco­nomic tac­tics gen­er­ated from this oper­a­tion will reap its unde­ni­able suc­cess in the near future. Mean­while to self-generate inter­est through the ver­nac­u­lar of con­sumerism, their lat­est instal­ment is the Polaroid Cre­ative Kit. A per­fect fit to the DIY rev­o­lu­tion that marches head strong along with the slow food, self-sustaining eat­ing ide­ol­ogy. This kit repli­cates the peel back film process with the capa­bil­lity of image trans­fer, and as the com­pany name sug­gests, the price tag attached to this fun is unsur­pris­ingly pre­mium.
