A Thought for the Day




These are some photographs I created using my FujiFilm Instax 7S camera. Polaroids are a timeless medium in photography. The colours are honest and real and the quick development helps capture a moment instantly.

The I got the idea for the first photograph after having a specific, a good one for once, and my alarm going off and waking up in reality once again. The second photograph, is based on a recent feeling I have been experiencing lately.

The images help give me an idea for a new project, photographing narratives and little scenarios in this format and creating a book of small 'life stories' within this medium. This is an idea I plan to develop on in my third year of University. I became more interested in film photography after my previous project Time Pieces, and wanted to explore the different ways in which Polaroids can be used and I feel that there is something very special about a Polaroid image, and the photograph in itself is its own masterpiece without being too complex or creative.
