Neon lights, LEDs, filters, or light leaks: direct light sources in Polaroid frames exhibit an unpredictable behavior that always awakens the photographer’s curiosity (a humble enthusiast in my case), delivering truly unique results.

Field Notes:

Sure, without light there is no photography. But across this gallery, I found an expected unpredictable behavior of light, sometimes through a premeditated filter setup on the Polaroid Now+, other times from the well-known optical quirks of Polaroid film. Of course, having my wife as my partner in crime is something that will always fill my heart, pushing me to move forward during difficult times and encouraging me to seize every moment of joy taking photos with her.
