____________

In the 1970s, more than a decade into her photographic career, Ann Zelle picked up two cameras that would shape the way she approached photography for decades to come – the Diana Camera and Polaroid SX-70. While marketed as a “toy” camera, the technical and aesthetic options with the Diana intrigued amateurs and professionals alike; and for Ann it was the introduction of 19th century printing processes into the equation that transformed the abstracted clarity of Diana images into prints that are rich and full of energy. At the same time, Polaroid’s launch of the SX-70 that popularized instant photographs became a tool for Ann to hone her aesthetic eye in documenting her surroundings through photography as she utilized the medium to capture hidden moments and private spaces.
