Polaroids were once a photographer’s tool — quick, practical, and immediate. Like many working in the analog era, Arthur Belebeau used them in 1990s New York for scouting, to test light, align with clients, and document moments on set. Over time, what began as utility became one of his most instinctive artistic outlets: unpredictable, raw, and aligned with his creative style.

After two decades of natural patina, these Polaroids have reached a rare point of maturity. Scanned at just the right moment, they preserve the authentic textures and imperfections of the original frames. From hundreds of images, this curated series is organized by collections that invite each viewer to shape their own narrative.
