franck (Paris, FR) +001+ Franck is an exceptional photographer, innovative and fresh in every single image. Digitally removing the border of each polaroid might be sad but at least allows us to see the concepts in larger versions. I am fond of his latest coloures which wonderfully support his poetical, surreal and fairytale-like narrations, showing a naive world reduced to the mainsubject and thus extracting the rest of the surrounding, the rest of the world. |

lo-fi (Taipei, TW) One of my closest friends and inspirations on Polanoid.net. I am thankful to have met him and his family through this internt platform which connects and binds each of our souls so well. The images connect, the words connect and build a whole new unity in the net. i-nan kuo is special. His works create moments which give two seemingly contradictive expressions immediately at first sight, simultaneously. This is so surreally dreamlike / this is everyday life, everyday love. I guess that's what fascinates me the most about his work, this particular contradiction. His beautiful and shy but confident wife he shows rarely, but if he does, then we feel like he caught the essence of her in that very moment. His son seems to be right out of those - to us western populations - exotic fairytale myth movies we see lately and can experience from the 60s on. He seems like a mythical little creature, epitomizing shyness, freedom, curiousity as well as "innocence", which is indeed an overuesd term but here suits the subject, as the word rarely does. But that is only one part of his work and I do not want to "reduce" his images to that field, as he is very experimental, also in combining images and testing various ways of exposure, and the content also keeps treasures of roots, history and culture. |

nicole (Basel, CH) I am still uncertain what to think about her work. I do enjoy it alot, that is not the question, but it is difficult to see a soft line between the images, which, as stated before, is not necessary! Not at all! Her snapshots and fun photos (love them!) ar mixed with very promising artistical approaches and wonderful coloures and moods. I guess you just find "everything" in her gallery, which makes her so special, go and visit her in her gallery. |

artpunk (Melbourne, AU) His humour and smilies as well as the way he writes exceed my personal bearing-border ;-p You are wonderful artpunk and ya know ir, blue-assed fly :-D |
|
spitocco (, ) he is very kind and cares for other polanoiders as well, very communicative so don't hesitate to approach him in his guestbook. :-) Other work that I enjoy "more" than his self destructive theme (no offense!) is the lyrical yet triste approach at objects: |
|
jillog (Washington DC, US) Her work will touch your soul. She has a gift. |
|
colourspace (Warwick, GB) Her portraiits of seemingly unimportant details, of her breathtakingly beautiful daughters..these are images that make you linger for a moment, breathe calmly and enjoy the moment of silence she captures in most of her images. Her work is endlessly poetical, her captures usually dreamy yet not fairytale like, rather idealizing a raw moment and giving it a special place in memory. |
|
Miss her. She knew my soul best, I fear.. |

missingshow (Cardiff, GB) Interesting is that his work made me think he was female, which is how he and I got in contact in the first place and share a little chat here and there now and then. The portraits (especially the early ones) made me feel like they were shot by a woman, they seem so sensible, so intimate yet not blunt or bold, they are lyrical in a very open, non-idealizingh (at least not often) and touching way. He captures sensitivity and fragility in strong women and has a style of his own in general. I admire his work, look up to him and also recommend his other-media-artwork despite his polaroids. An artist in his soul! My favourites that made me love his work: |

stOOpidgErL (Detroit, US) Am curious to see what she does in the polaroid world, I only know her digital images. So, she developed a very patch-work like work, tries to crazy wherever she can, and succeeds. She has very special concepts, which seem naive but depending on how you look at it, are not. You need to scrape of the surface to get her images. I personally especially love her altered, painted images like which shows her comical yet deep and partly disturbing approach to human being. Love what she has uploaded so far! |

Gary-M (Maywood, US) |
|
wristeye (Wien, AT) He is a cameraman as a secret source tpold me and he was so kind to offer help in the film-area where I want to float into gently and slowly! His work is amazing. He captures very twilight-like moods as well as crazy madness or really raw images..not to forget the lyrical poetical approachh of his subjects. His joy experimenting is visible in almost every piece of his gallery. And it gets more and more. Keep submitting, dear, I enjoy your pictures! |
|
Maybe she is the Mama of Polanoid? She gives love where she can and takes care of everyone. Very social and yes, she is very beautiful! her images are very varied, you find colur images as well as black 6 white combination. You can discover solo-images, pairs, narrations, images layn over oneanother, selfportraits, objects, friends, the list goes on and on. So gooo check her out if you haven't already! |
|
OuroborosX (New York, US) an extract: "i want to tell her everything, again... maybe she'll get it this time... maybe this time it will be different... the light changes... we walk in silence... it's too cold for tears... i guess that is all the divine intervention i can expect... "goodbye liad"... a hug... she's gone... damn, it's fucking cold in new york..." |

onepaladin (Honolulu, US) His COLOURES are amazing, as are the little effects he gives to his visions. I enjoy his gallery alot and can only recommend you check it out! His pola/photograms are wonderful! |
|
ruby74 (Hamburg, DE) Makes beautiful and devoted polaroids. Miss ya! |
|
doc (Wien, AT) His visions, ideals and goals drive him on and it seems like there is nothing that could stop him from achieving what ever he sets in his mind. Despite his obvious energy and success in business he is the man to approach if you have questions about cameras, film or accessoires, not only in getting them (unsaleable.com)but also when you have troubles, questions or worries. Within his stressful life he also finds time to develope his personal artistical skills which he denies when addressing it, but his images tell a different story and I smell more images in his boxes, where ever he hides them .And we want more. His lovely daughter Hannah is at polanoid as well, right below. :-) |

diarizado (London, GB) And then I checked out the rest of his work and he is magnificent, proves how wonderful the JoyCam can be if used well! He is truly gifted and his gallery is pure joy to wander: |
|
lhirondelle (Hanoi, VN) His latest work mainly treasures square black & white shots, usually very dark, not at content, but visually, though, yes, they have a dark feeling about them as well. Some pre-tastes for you to chew on before you click his name and enter his gallery yourself: |
|
granthamilton (Iowa City, US) |
|
spot (Caracas, VE) |
|
uglymonday (Cremona, IT) His latest images are amazing, enjoy his sepia/brown/greenish intensively contrasted yet soft transfers of lines, animals and children, it is endlessly beautiful! |
|
WebMeister (Wien, AT) Carmen's soulmate. Coffe & cigarettes. Most interesting self portraits and also his kid-photos are so enjoyable. .very varied and wide spread: |
|
andi (Wien, AT) update: he did! |
|
anna (Amsterdam, NL) I am looking forward to how she will develope and what she will upload next! |
|
lobegrinder (Sydney, AU) Love his work. I think his work is very touching, even if objectively "neutral" and rarther observing, which might be subjective but I thought I'd point it out. |
|
liebestraume (Sydney, AU) Her work is spare but I am sure will easily grow, her work already looks endlessly promising, am curious and anticipated to see more, love her double exposures (b/w) as well as her sx-images. Go welcome her and take a look at her gallery please! 4 images up at th time I am writing this. My favourite: |

ELRAFAEL (Lisboa, PT) |

curiousme (London, GB) Also, she i one of my strongest supporters here at polanoid. Each time I aubmit something she is there, analyses, associates, interprets, breathes my images in and writes down what she thinks about them, not only in praise but interestingly organized though freely associated, I love to read her words, she has something that makes you feel appreaciated in what you and write, and dear, I do thank you for that with all my heart! Check her out! :) |
|
tam-tam (Muenchen, DE) |
|
sixblueten (San Francisco, US) And I totally LOVE this one!!!! Out of personal reason s..connects me to a young young heart I couldn't live without, so yes, this one fills my heart with beautiful memories and thoughts of future. Many loved it! here it goes..: |
|
readskynight (New York, US) Her absolutely well deserved awareded image: |
|
dier (Bassano del grappa, IT) |
|
tumor (Chicago, US) She is new. She is soft. She is brilliant. Her coloures, her surroundings, her home, her loved one(s), herself...just inspirational, exploding with soft gentle stars of energy. Very romantically "voyeuristic" (to us) work. Please check her out and welcome her warmheartedly! |
|
tobsen (Hamburg, DE) Her images are either raw and documentarily or very idealized. Her almost comical approach to images as well as a very unique aesthetical vision make her images unique and take their time to develope in the recepient's mental eye. More than worth a visit! I recommend viewing her pictures with someone else together, as she is so varied you sometimes miss a few things..it helped me. And is a tipp that goes for viewing any pictures by any artist :-) |
|
tinusv (Breda, NL) He is still "new" to Polanoid but telling from his online galleries a very experiencedand heart feeling photographer. His images moved me in a very intimate and soft way, so I do not want to spoil it with my helpless words but hope you will click the icon and jump to his gallery! |
|
lars.blumen (Berlin, DE) Lars is a true "photographer", if such thing exists. his images are photography, at least those that I feel to be his work basis and main work. I am not sure how to describe it exactely, but he uses the medium simply for what it is. Only lately he started going in the painterly direction. I still feel his "photos" to be his ground. No idea if I am still making sense so let's hope the image examples can say what I am incapable to express at the moment: |

David_S (Glasgow, GB) A close friend in a weird way. Felt drawn to his worrk right from the beginning. A touching story, touching polaroids taken out of life-situations. His comments are very kind and supportive, very insightful words, creative loving spirit. Check him out. |
