Neil Krug's stylized photos of his girlfriend, the model Joni Harbeck, were taken with Polaroid film years past its sell-by date. They have the kind of grainy, sun-scorched feel of a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. And ever since the couple began posting the photos on Flickr early this year, they’ve drawn a blaze of attention. “I really never received this much feedback on my work before,” said Neil, who has also directed music videos for Ladytron and Ratatat.
Neil Krug became interested in shooting Polaroid last year when it was announced that the instant film would be discontinued; and its eventual demise adds a certain poignancy. “It resonates with people,” Neil said. “I know I’ve fallen in love with it.”
