Polaroids: Volume One is the debut photography book from Soft Butch, showcasing an intimate collection of 327 Polaroid images across 256 pages. Featuring 60 nude male subjects, the book explores vulnerability, masculinity, and the beauty of the human form through the distinctive aesthetic of instant film.

Most of the individuals featured are not professional models, and for many, this was their first experience posing nude. Rather than focusing on identity, the book emphasizes expression through the body itself. With only a handful of faces visible, the photographs invite viewers to consider the freedom and honesty that can emerge when anonymity allows self-consciousness to fade.

Created entirely with Polaroid film, the project embraces the medium's unpredictable character and timeless visual quality. Instant photography also carries deep significance within queer history, offering a private way to document intimate moments when traditional photo labs could feel unsafe or inaccessible. Polaroids: Volume One honors that legacy while presenting a contemporary celebration of authenticity, vulnerability, and queer expression.
