The Friday Photo this week is a truly beautiful dreamy Polaroid portrait by French photographer Saya Chontang from her series Human Beauty.

Human Beauty:

Saya Chontang’s soft, dream-like Polaroids might stem from or fall into the category of fashion photography, but by collaborating closely with her models (many of them local artists), she captures not only each individual’s particular beauty, but also a glimpse of what beauty means in general.

Saya Chontang:

Born in Thailand and raised in France, Saya Chontang studied art including drawing, painting, and engraving from a young age. At just 16 years old, she found her ideal instrument, a Polaroid camera older than she was, with which she photographs artists around Paris, where she lives.
