100 years of Bentley captured on iconic Polaroid 20x24 camera

Bringing together landmark vehicles and iconic camera technology for the first time, the pioneering Polaroid 20x24 Land Camera has been used to photograph famous Bentley models for a limited edition Opus book celebrating the British brand's centenary.

While the groundbreaking camera has been used previously to capture Hollywood celebrities and world leaders, this is the first time that the world's largest Polaroid camera has been used to photograph an automotive brand.

Having transformed instant photography by offering large-scale, one-of-a-kind originals with incredibly rich colours, tremendous detail, and exquisitely shallow focus, the landmark Polaroid Land Camera has been used by the world's foremost photorealists and photographers.

The Bentley models captured during this one-off photoshoot include the EXP 2 of 1919 (the oldest surviving Bentley), the 1952's R-Type Continental, the 8 Litre of 1930 and the Le Mans-winning Speed 8 from 2003. The final car to be shot was the recently launched, all new Continental GT.

This exclusive imagery will be used to create a special chapter in the forthcoming Bentley Centenary Opus book. For more information including pre-orders and reservations please visit www.thisisopus.com/Bentley.
