Sebastian Perinotti: 

'I am eternally drawn to the immediacy of the Polaroid, the instant aspect has always been very gratifying as an image creator and story teller. It is always a difficult question to answer who these subjects are; in the most general sense I would best describe my subjects as lovers, friends and fellow artists. They are impersonators of their own and my ideas for an image. I see my subjects as accomplices in the creation of images and not mere means to an end. While I do direct my subjects in a certain way, it is equally vital for a component of chance to be present; I try to make my subjects lose inhibitions in front of the camera while at the same time remaining aware of the whole practice. I am an archivist, gathering not only community experiences but also sights of metropolises, architecture, nature and quotidian life. I am in search of a present-day interpretation of landscape, still life and sexuality.’
