Jim French/Colt Nude Polaroids


It's a well known fact that Jim French, the genius behind Colt Studio, used Polaroids early in his career in the period 1968-1970.  Some of these were used as studies for his drawings, and it was also a way to avoid difficulties with photo developing labs.  So for our R-rated series I am featuring some of Jim French's photos of duos that are generally thought to be Polaroids.  This one looks a little too crisp to be an instant photo, but it came from a reliable source labeled as such.

  1. Très belle photo. Sensualité, érotisme et un peu de perversion émane de cette pose...Domination ou envie de faire durer un plaisir qui aboutira sans aucun doute?

    1. Most of these were not published until decades later, after Mr. French had a major influence. My understanding is that he used most of them as studies for his erotic drawings. Many people don't know that Jim French started as an artist and moved into photography when he realized its potential.
