Official synopsis Publisher
For almost twenty five years artist William Wegman has been producing amazingly inventive photographs with the 20×24 inch Polaroid camera. This extraordinary body of work began in 1979, when Wegam was invited by Polaroid to try out this unusual camera. When Wegman and his dog, Man Ray, traveled to Boston to use the camera for the first time, a remarkable collaboration was launched. After Man Ray died in 1982, Wegman continued his exploration of the medium with non-canine subjects. In the late 1980s, he began to work with the dog Fay Ray and an expanding universe of her progeny.
