Polaroid photographer/videographer Jeremy Kost (born in Texas, living/working in New York) gives insight into the nightlife of celebrities. He is known in New York's scene as "the Polaroid artist".
In comparison to digital media a Polaroid is closer to the "authentic moment"; it captures with its material the aura of the situation. Through the lenses of his "true" camera Jeremy Kost exposes the reality of celebrities, artists and their authentic fashion in unstaged sceneries.
