There's no doubt that ever since the creation of digital photography, Polaroids have almost become extinct. However, photographer Ezra Petronio is resurrecting the once popular art form in the Self Service Spring/Summer 2010 editorial.
The shoot features several different models and designers such as Riccardo Tisci, Ciara, Tom Ford, Anna Dello Russo and several others. The featured photos are all hazy and extremely artistic and it's funny how going back to the basics can still create something so expressive. Check out the gallery for more shots from the Self Service Spring/Summer 2010 spread.
