In this day and age, filters and effects are by the plenty and with an iPhone at hand, your basically a budding photographer. Now, while your so called skills may get you some instant gratification from your peers when you upload that sweet shot you took and edited on VSCOcam to the gram, in comparison to what Andy Warhol could do with a polaroid camera, they amount to nothing.

Warhol had a extraordinary knack for capturing portraits of some of the most influential people in the world, including Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minnelli and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few. For your benefit, these have all been compiled into a 500+ page book set for release in September via Taschen publications.

For time being, you can check out some exerts from the Andy Warhol’s ‘Polaroids’ collection in our gallery above.
