What is the origin of the Polaroid camera?

Edwin Herbert Rand is a name that cannot be ignored in the history of modern business. The inspiration for his world-famous instant camera was born in 1943 during the war. At that time, Rand, who was on vacation, took a photo of his daughter, and her daughter wondered why she couldn't see the photo right away. His daughter's "unreasonable request" gave Rand the inspiration to bond the exposed negative film with a positive film coated with a photosensitive film on a white base. After a few seconds, the positive film was developed and separated from the negative film. Rand realized that this new reversal transfer method had huge market potential. On this basis, he presided over the development of the world's first one-time imaging camera.

This instant product, named Polaroid Rand Camera, made photography arbitrary, thus changing the shooting habits of millions of people around the world and providing a prototype for the future development of digital photography. . The Polaroid company he founded won the American Camera Achievement Award for its 1-minute imaging technology and Polaroid cameras.
