Polaroid, revisited ... and Adriana in the Desert
I have to admit that I truly miss shooting film.
Especially Polaroid. It just has a certain quality to it that not even the best digital quality can match, because it's too flawless.
Photography has advanced a lot, photographs nowadays appear everywhere highly polished and photoshopped. Phone cams. 35 pixel digital backs. Compact point and shoots. High end SLR digital cameras.
To me personally, nothing beats the magic of a polaroid. And film!
There is a magic and beauty to film that can't be beat. I love the rawness that can be achieved with film.
Wednesday night I drove out to the desert again to shoot beautiful Adriana Sage. The next day we struggled with temperatures of around 110 F.
Shooting in the desert can be challenging. The light is usually extremely bright on top the heat and occasional sand storms, which makes shooting difficult but have to give props to the girls who go out of their way to deal with the heat and shoot with me in the desert.
Here's a dusty scan of one of the polaroids from this shoot:
