Polaroids: The Intimate Frame
There’s something quietly magical about the immediacy of Polaroid photography—no retouching, no back button, no deleting the imperfect—just light, chemistry, and instinct. I’ve been shooting with my SX-70 for years now, and over time, these frames have become something of a personal archive: a visual diary of intimacy, solitude, friendship, fleeting connection, and everything in between.
...a way to capture people and moments as they truly are—unvarnished but full of character, atmosphere, and presence.
Living in the In Between
Polaroids live in the in-between. They’re raw, slow, and physical in a way that feels increasingly rare. They resist polish, and in doing so, invite honesty. For me, they’ve been a way to capture people and moments as they truly are—unvarnished but full of character, atmosphere, and presence.
A sense of closeness
This collection brings together years of private, intuitive picture-making across cities, countries, and stages of life. Some were shot backstage or in bedrooms, others on rooftops or set. But no matter the subject, there’s always a sense of closeness—between me and the person on the other side of the lens, but also between memory and emotion, identity and play. The quiet thrill of a glance caught in the half-second before the shutter snaps. The intimacy of a shared pause. The honesty that comes from not needing to perform.
I shoot them to remember. To celebrate the soft, the strange, the sexy, the still.
A study in trust and tenderness
I don’t shoot Polaroids for perfection. I shoot them to remember. To celebrate the soft, the strange, the sexy, the still. They remind me why I started taking pictures in the first place—because I always needed to hold on just a little longer.
