New Project: Black Men on Polaroid

If you have been following my Instagram feed, you will have noticed that I'm rather partial to instant photography. I've been incorporating it in some way in all of the shoots I have been doing for the past year or so.

And the more I do it, the more I love it.

And, I notice that everyone loves to receive a polaroid.

I particularly love using it for portraiture with the Mint SLR670x - Ming Edition.

Film: Polaroid Reclaimed Blue

April, 2023

I was thinking of doing a project using only polaroid film (in it's remaining variants) for a photo project on black men.

I think the analogue character of Polaroid could assist me (at least I hope) in showing black men in a different light. I'm liking what I'm seeing other artists do with this throwback format from my childhood.

Brian at Polaroid must have read my mind, as he (accidentally) created the perfect polaroid for portraits of black men (IMO): Polaroid Blue: Reclaimed Edition. It produces beautiful shades of blue. Contrasty, but I think I can work magic with this film.

Can't wait to see what happens next!
