I was going to write a really long and in depth review but I really all I can say is just buy this book. Don't think about- JUST DO IT. It is one of the best photo books I have ever seen. Really. Its that good.

Beautiful Polaroids that push the boundaries of Instant film. Some of the photos feel like they are objectifying the subject but at the same time not offensive - guess it’s a French thing. Would have appreciated at least some commentary.

Beautiful Polaroids that look more like a second in time than a test print. I wish there was more of an introduction to the works, but they are simple presented without comment and hold up in that manner.

this is my favorite work by Bourdin. it has the same formal and conceptual depth as his "real" work, but i prefer the looser approach and imperfections of the polaroids.
