John Reuter is the director of Polaroid's 20x24 Studio in New York City. Using the legendary camera for 2 decades, he has worked collaboratively with photographers and artists, from William Wegman and Joyce Tenneson to David Levinthal and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

Over the same period, Reuter's personal work and vision has moved in a very different direction. Early collages with Polaroid's SX-70 instant film gave way to painted Polaroid image transfers in formats ranging from 8" x 10" to 5" x 6". Now working exlusively in digital imagery, he still draws from painterly influences and outputs his digital collages on canvases up to 40" x 50".

Reuter regularly teaches workshops in Polaroid Image Transfer, Photoshop, digital collage, and web design. This year he is offering new courses that combine the simple quirkiness of Polaroid originals with the flexible power of digital techniques of retouching, enhancing, reproducing and enlarging. Look for his workshops at institutions such as the International Center of Photography and the School of Visual Arts in New York; the Santa Fe Workshops in New Mexico; and the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in Florida.
