These pictures have some history, small, but they have it. 

This is my first self portrait with polaroid camera. I took it last summer, when I was in München. At that time I just made first steps with polaroids, it was pretty difficult for me, because it's almost not possible to predict which picture will be at the end. But I did it :)

After some time I showed these pictures to my polaroid photographer and part-time organizer of polaroid exhibitions Instant art Paris and Instant art Arles. He decided to take my pictures to exhibition to Paris '22. I didn't expect that its possible,I didn't believe that its true...

It was my first exhibition in my life, first time my pictures were hanging on the wall, first time in my life people bought my prints and polaroids... I felt special. It's difficult to explain how. 

The name of my polaroid photographer is Stefan Merz. You know him already, because I published a lot of pictures, that I took together with him. He is very talented guy, and my friend and teacher in polaroids, he gave me first polaroid camera, and he supports me a lot. ❤️

I am very grateful to him and also for the chance to take part of exhibition with a lot of talented people.

These are really marvelous, Irina. They would be beautiful as more traditional photographs, let alone the fact they're Polaroids. I'm curious as to the type of camera you are using to take them. I'm not familiar with any Polaroid cameras that use this specific type of film and can be activated using a timer or remote trigger. In any case, they are so enjoyable and I appreciate you sharing them with us. Much love.
