“Nature is my inspiration. In my work I strive to bring the apparent into view and work with a degree of improvisation, rendering the image as if it is balancing in between moments.”

I met Mikael through the web on the Polaroid photography mecca Polanoid.net, his work always fascinated me. Beautiful, yet haunting, portraits of people and places I always wanted to see more of. He has some books for sale on his website, this is his latest release.

:::
Passport to Trespass is the Polaroid wanderings of photographer Mikael Kennedy. Using a Polaroid SX-70, Kennedy documents the people and objects around him. The effects are small specimen-like paintings created in the long exposures and rich colors of the Polaroid film, captured and catalogued in the little white border of the print. The collected images are documentation of a life of roaming and restlessness rendered into a vocabulary of landscape and vision.

you will miss me when i burn is the fourth volume in this series. this new collection takes on a different look and feel than that of the previous three volumes. Volume IV; you will miss me when i burn, is a funeral for Polaroid. Faced with the announcement marking the end of production for Polaroid film earlier this year, Kennedy used his last 20 packs of Polaroid’s Time-Zero to take one portrait of as many of his past subjects as possible. Half way through the project the battery in the film cartridges failed rendering the film useless, forcing Kennedy to, in absolute darkness, unload the precious film out of the dead packs into freshly emptied cartridges from Polaroid’s 600 film, thus extending the life a little longer. Every picture dated as a testament to the end; every one marking the death of Polaroid.
