BIO

Hello, my name is Mila. I'm a polaroid artist and shoot with vintage Polaroid cameras. 
 

My photography journey started when I was a child and was working on b&w prints with my father in our home darkroom. Later as a teen, I was shooting 35 mm point-and-shoot cameras. My interest in film photography never really went away, so I picked up the camera again in 2007, first taking pictures on a 35 mm camera, then exploring other alternative photography and moving to medium format.

Sometime in 2011 I discovered peel-apart polaroid and fell in love. Since then it's been my main medium. I feel like it creates another dimension. I love the unpredictable result, the color shifts, and how it works in different light and temperatures. I love that polaroid offers so many possibilities to create. 

Through my visual language I want to show or give a feeling of connection and belonging to this incredible planet.
