I reckon the images are digital. It’s not for any one specific feature of the image, it simply ‘feels’ like the images are lacking in that filmic quality. I’m completely useless I know…. :) At least looking at it from the perspective of workflow, capturing in digital would make Arnal’s work easier down the line.

Can you see anything specific which makes you think it’s digital or film?

benjabimon: Wow, you’re right! I didn’t notice that before, but now that I look at them more closely, I see what you see. It’s the same polaroid frame being used over and over again, with different images photoshopped into it. You’ve got a sharp eye! I wonder if these were shot digital or film. What do you think?

arrgg >_< not polaroid.

i fucking love these images but it bothers me that they aren’t polaroid. at first i was sceptical of the resolution in them, they looked to clean and crisp for a polaroid that size. and then i noticed that the dirt on the top right hand corner is present on every image.

am i a stick in the mud?

although it’s a very, very nice treatment.

Hot damn, I love these. Those tattoos and pervstaches are the cherry on top.

hmmm, this totally feeds my gold obsession (yes I publicly admit, I love gold color in clothing and no, not the american apparel style)
now I want to make something lacey and goldy…yum~
