This portrait is of “Roman” (@mystic_rage), spotted while she was posing for my friend Naeem Douglas in front of a coppery, sparkling backdrop. When Naeem paused, asked her to wait, and walked off toward his gear across the room (reloading film?), I asked for a quick Polaroid portrait, since she was already in posing mode. She smiled, agreed, and posed for me.

Location: Worthless Studios, Bushwick, Brooklyn
Camera: Polaroid SLR 680SE (vintage)
Film: Polaroid 600 Color / 600 Monochrome
Photographer: Russ Murray

Here is Naeem posing Roman/@mystic_rage before my portrait of her:

The second PolaCon NYC event, sponsored by Polaroid, was held from May 17th — 19th, primarily at Worthless Studios in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. I went on Saturday the 18th and had a great time learning, playing with gear, meeting old friends, making new ones, and shooting a bunch of instant photos!

See you tomorrow…
