Thanks! These were taken with the NONS back for the Hasselblad. There are two versions of it: on the v1, the back spits the photo to the left and the longer side of the film border is on the right side, that’s the one I used for these Polascenes. The new version spits the photo to the bottom side with the correct orientation, but you need to use a focusing screen aide and a filter, it covers the full image canvas though. I would get the v2. Also, these don’t get Polaroid film, but Instax ones!
Hi Raf, I have an essay that look a little like this. It was made in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Funny how ideas can communicate thousands of miles away:

So nice! Are you Brazilian? I’m from Rio, currently living in NY! Love your essay! Let’s connect! We had the same idea!! :))
I never really thought about how strange it is to photograph a Polaroid just to share it online.
it took me a few days to see this post, I don’t grab it!
I don’t have a Polaroid but have been thinking about getting an instant back for my Hasselblad 500C/M. A Polascene, great idea! Love your posts, Rafa!

I hope this was useful!
A fascinating artistic concept/prompt here. I think I’m going to have to try something like it.
Good idea! It could be any printed photo, though. I don't have any Polaroid pictures, but it is not difficult to create a paper frame simulating it.
indeed!!
