To kick off our upcoming Elska Montréal launch, we're offering the chance to buy a unique Polaroid photograph taken in the city. Proceeds will go to charity.

About this polaroid:

Elska Charity Polaroid no.11:

Title: “I'M WITH YOU” / Subject: Thierry H / Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada

Whenever I see a guy who has a lot of art at his home I love to shoot him amongst it. However, during the shoot with Thierry I avoided shooting with this art because the light in that part of his flat was too lacking. The Polaroid camera has a flash that I'm happy to work with though, so this backdrop was perfect for one of our Polaroids. I’m not sure what the art is all about by the way, it looks like two girls trying to hide their bits, and Thierry sits underneath with his bits hidden by the framing. What I see though is a portrait of Avril Lavigne wearing two different outfits from one of her tours, and she’s signing, “I don’t know who you are but I, I’m with you.” What do you see??
