Shake It Like a Polaroid Nude Pic

There have been many times throughout my life when I've wondered if photographers perhaps have the best job of us all. This, friends, is most certainly one of those times. 

Take Nate "Igor" Smith, for example - he segued his photography career into one of a nudity connoisseur, an expert in capturing the naked women he came across both professionally and personally forever. His primary medium is an unusual one, all things considered: Polaroids, or more specifically, Instax photos. Consider this method akin to the original Snapchat - taking a more candid nude that you can possess immediately is a special, special gift. (And this technique would also make for one killer vintage boudoir set, I'm just saying.) 

Smith's Kickstarter page will give you the backstory on how he came to take his very first Instaxxx photos (with a Barbie camera, mind you) and how he has come to organically create a collection of hundreds and hundreds of these. Smith sent a few exclusive shots that you can only see here and in the book itself. Some faces you will recognize:

Like Blair Williams and Jillian Janson.     

And some are faces you won't - that's the beauty (not to mention the reach) of Smith's project. When he set out to crowdfund this book, appropriately titled Instaxxx,  he was aiming for $2,500 over the span of a few weeks. What he got was $10,000 in mere days. 

Lucky for you (and err, me), there are still rewards available on the Kickstarter, where you will find one very sexy video of performers like Carter Cruise, Abella Danger, and Melissa Moore talking about Instaxxx. A few lucky backers will get signed copies of original polaroids from the likes of Jillian Janson and Abigail Mac, plus tons of Smith's existing photography and merch from other projects. I, for one, have a favorite photo from his Etsy shop. 

It's called "Butt Puppy", and it's the best thing I've ever seen.
