Dark Shadows News has posted four previously unseen Dark Shadows portraits, featuring Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Bella Heathcoate, and Helena Bonham Carter. Click the images below to enlarge them:
These are large format Polaroid pictures. The streaking pattern at the top of the pictures is what gives them away as large format Polaroid. The cameras require a crew of people to operate - they're supposedly about 300 lbs. Anyone who's been to the touring Tim Burton art exhibition will have seen some of his large format Polaroid pieces from a series he did in the early 90's - pictures of Lisa Marie covered in plastic spider webs and stuff. I've only seen a handful of the pictures from that series. I think they were briefly exhibited in 93 or 94. I've been hoping since then that he'd eventually print the photos from that series in a book or something, but it never happened. A couple of them are in The Art of Tim Burton - I think they're the same ones that are in the touring exhibit.
