Elton John, Polaroid, 1982

Elton John holding a Polaroid of himself holding a Polaroid, photographed by Martyn Goddard in 1982, a baseball cap, oversized specs and a huge grin folded into one gently absurd, very Elton picture.

Goddard photographed Elton during a commission for his Rocket Records in the early 1980s, and the session caught the star in relaxed, playful form, happy to send up his own image.

Produced as museum-quality archival pigment prints from the original transparency, each print is individually signed by Martyn Goddard and released in strictly limited editions.
