Perusing through the Patrick Hoelck Polaroids photo series, it's easy to understand why everyone made such a fuss when Polaroids vanished from the market. Candid, gritty and simply real, it has a way of capturing life as it happens rather than as we want it to be.
You may already be familiar with this photographer's celebrity portrait work since Trend Hunter featured it last year, but the Patrick Hoelck Polaroids portfolio is particularly captivating, even without the stars.
