Hi! I'm Ifa Brand, ex-Playboy model turned photographer & self-portraitist. Frustrated with the modelling world I took to photography as a tool for self-expression. Since 2017, I have been creating my own work, mainly on Polaroid film, heavily inspired by vintage eroticism. Here is some of my work:

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The attic needs clearing. I move some furniture aside. Box after box. Until I find that one box... the black velvet box. I open it. A new world. What are these photographs? I've never seen them before. Faded, full of longing. Disappearing. A woman, enigma.

Whenever I shoot black & white film, I always fall in love with the tones, contrasts and the aesthetic of it. Nothing beats it, in my humble opinion. Recent self-portrait on Polaroid I-type bnw film.

Self-portrait on Polaroid color film, shot with a pink lens filter. I don't post much on here. For some reason this never really took off and I find the engagement here... more difficult than other platforms. What's your opinion on this?

Recent self-portrait on Polaroid color film, shot with red RGB-lights.

Here is a recent self-portrait, shot on I-type color film, working some magic with my new lights. Fun fact: lights were set to pink but because the location had red walls, the light bounced back and became a red haze. Part of the reason why I love Polaroid: its unpredictability.

You've seen the pink LED-lights (previous post) so here's some blue. Different vibe but also cool to experiment with. Self-portrait on Polaroid color film.

Little test shoot to get to know my new lights, Neewer 660 Pro II RGB. I wanted to create an 'what happens at the club, stays at the club'-vibe with gorgeous pink sexy lighting. I think this opens up a lot of options for the future. Self-portraits shot on Polaroid color film.

Making use of ambient light is always challenging when shooting Polaroid but soo rewarding as it gives beautiful warm light. Self-portrait shot on Polaroid color film.

People telling me for years, shoot on gold frame film! And last year I finally did and they came out amazing! Difficult to scan because the gold is soo reflective but definitely will use them again. Self-portrait on Polaroid color film. #polaroid #filmphotography #selfportrait
