Words from the artist

“I’m often in a rush when preparing for a drag number, though I like to make sure I document every look I serve. Polaroids are a quick way for me to create a one-of-a-kind portrait with unpredictable results. In the film photography world we embrace the Wabi Sabi or natural imperfection. New models on this camera have a self timer. With Polaroid, the aesthetic is instant vintage and the world of drag a playground. I prefer Polaroids because they don’t amplify the details, yet have all kinds of soul. I’ll try any Polaroid camera you hand to me.” - Ace Palomino
