Past X Polaroids X Future

Three Polaroid photographs displayed in a row, each capturing a portrait of the same young boy at the same location under similar light conditions, taken years apart. These images illustrate the passage of time, the theme of memories and growing up, and the gradual fading of Polaroid photos. A touching visual story by Cork's leading portrait photographer, showcasing how moments are preserved and transformed over the years.

3 Polaroids

Polaroid instant photos are more than just snapshots; they're fragments of moments we decided to keep as tangible reminders. But just like those fleeting experiences, these pictures inevitably fade. Over the years, I've witnessed my own Polaroids, taken in the same spot in similar, late evening light filing through the window, gradually lose their punch. Each frame was captured with my trusty SX-70 a few years apart and displayed on our bathroom mirror, where humidity and light conspired to speed up their decline. The latest Polaroid films boast higher contrast, but only time will tell if they will last longer. I will update you in due course with my findings. Stay tuned, and keep immortalising those fleeting moments.
