About the Book
John Reuter's SX-70 Constructions stand apart from Polaroid imagery in the 1970s. Taking advantage of the plastic characteristics of SX-70 film, Reuter deconstructed and then reconstructed his images with acrylic paint, ink, and collage to create unique realities akin to Surrealist painting.

JOHN REUTER has been a photographer since the early 1970s, majoring in Art while attending SUNY Geneseo. He continued his studies on the graduate level at the University of Iowa, receiving two master’s degrees. It was there that he began to specialize in Polaroid materials, most notably his SX-70 constructions, combining photography with painting and collage. Reuter joined Polaroid Corporation in 1978 as senior photographer and later Director of the legendary 20x24 Studio. His own work evolved through large scale Polacolor Image Transfers to digital imaging in the mid 1990’s. He has taught workshops in Photoshop, Lightroom, Polaroid materials and encaustic painting around the world.
