Andy Jenkins uses cameras like the Graflex Crown Graphic and Polaroid Daylab to create images that lean into the unpredictable nature of instant film. Color shifts dominate this set—purples, blues and teals bleed across frames throughout (the result of expired film stocks and experimental processing). Heavy bokeh softens backgrounds into washes of color, with shallow depth of field isolating subjects. Polaroid borders are visible in several frames. Jenkins elects to let foreground details emerge while everything else dissolves. The work feels like album cover material: nostalgic, dreamlike and built on the aesthetic imperfections of the medium itself.
