Anna from Absolutely Beautiful Things invited me to participate in her new blog series called ‘Absolutely Favourite Things’. I was rather inspired by her request for me to photograph a vignette of my latest faves, and ended up doing an entire photo shoot the other morning when it was so sunny. I decided to push the light and make the shots as polaroidy as possible, making it a little visual ode to some of my favourite polaroid photographers. This is what I created, what do you think?

PS I took quite a few photographs actually and if I’m brave enough I might show you a few more.

    really what effect did you do? (but…film is still film and digital can never capture the light the same way, n’est pas?)

    Oh Annie, I was hoping someone would ask! I shall put together a few more.

    Nancy, I cannot reveal all my dirty little secrets, just yet! But you are right, film is film, dig is dig, and it will never cross over but I think you can be inspired by them still. There is no way these shots look like polaroid, but being inspired by polaroid and so creating these was heaps of fun.

    Cindy K – yes there is a hint of pink! Glad you like, they are quite different to what I usually make don’t you think?

    Nadia – merci beaucoup!! x

    Amanada – haha! Looks like we are both inspired by each other, love it.
