I don't edit my work for online viewing. Everything is 100% the magic of Polaroid film, it's colors & my lighting skills. I like to present small fragments of authenticity in work that is created from my fantasy. Recent self-portrait, shot on Polaroid I-type film with golden frame, phone shot.

Playing dress-up and shooting Polaroids of myself is what keeps me sane on this planet. Shot on Polaroid I-type film, using red LED lights.

Well, what happened here? Star lens filter + blue LED lights + Polaroid chemicals going a bit crazy et voila! My latest self-portrait shot on Polaroid color I-type film.

Self-portrait, shot on Polaroid round frame film + detail. Round frame is one of my favorite films. Some of my best work is shot on it. This is one from my last shoot of 2025.

She comes from the past. Self-portrait on expired Polaroid color film. This film was 3,5 years old, hence lack of contrast/bright colors.

Starting the new year with this self-portrait shot on Polaroid 600 round frame. Wishing you all an Abundant new year and beauty in times of darkness.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The attic needs clearing. I move some furniture aside. Box after box. Until I find that one box... the black velvet box. I open it. A new world. What are these photographs? I've never seen them before. Faded, full of longing. Disappearing. A woman, enigma. Self-portrait on expired I-type color film.

Whenever I shoot black & white film, I always fall in love with the tones, contrasts and the aesthetic of it. Nothing beats it, in my humble opinion. Recent self-portrait on Polaroid I-type bnw film.

Self-portrait on Polaroid color film, shot with a pink lens filter. I don't post much on here. For some reason this never really took off and I find the engagement here... more difficult than other platforms. What's your opinion on this?

Here is a recent self-portrait, shot on I-type color film, working some magic with my new lights. Fun fact: lights were set to pink but because the location had red walls, the light bounced back and became a red haze. Part of the reason why I love Polaroid: its unpredictability.

You've seen the pink LED-lights (previous post) so here's some blue. Different vibe but also cool to experiment with. Self-portrait on Polaroid color film.

Little test shoot to get to know my new lights, Neewer 660 Pro II RGB. I wanted to create an 'what happens at the club, stays at the club'-vibe with gorgeous pink sexy lighting. I think this opens up a lot of options for the future. Self-portraits shot on Polaroid color film.
